BREAKING: President Obama and his National Security Adviser Susan Rice were so distraught after Trump won in 2016 they literally broke down and cried in front of White House staff, according to 1,100 hours of new audio and video compiled by Columbia University in cooperation with the Obama Foundation. After all they'd built, they feared their accomplishments were "at risk" of being torn down by a "con man" and a "clown." Ergo, Trump had to be stopped?
Charles C.W. Cooke at NRO: Browning suggests that AOC went to Munich to insist that "wealthy world leaders must better provide for their working classes or risk their countries sliding toward authoritarianism." Apparently, he considers this exonerative. In truth, though, that is the whole problem: AOC is a one-trick pony. What she says in America is what she says in Munich, because she doesn't know how to say anything else. At some point in her life she became attracted to warmed-over democratic socialism, and since that point she has declined to learn anything more. She's a meme, an avatar, a vibe. In her interview with Browning, she griped that the press had focused on "any five-to-10-second thing" from her remarks. But of course it did. She is a five-to-10-second thing. She is a limerick competing with a bunch of novels. What did she think was going to happen?Wait, I don't understand -- does Jake Tapper use Twitter for self-promotion?
Advertisement Elsewhere, AOC implies that the media's interest in her potentially "running for president" has made it tough for her agenda to break through. But one must wonder why, if political drama is to blame, this did not apply to Marco Rubio, who is constantly depicted as being involved in a monumental power struggle with JD Vance, and yet managed to deliver a speech at the same conference that was widely regarded as masterly. As it happens, the explanation for this difference is simple: Marco Rubio went to Germany to make a discrete case to the Munich Security Conference, and AOC went to Germany to make yet another Instagram video about nothing. The results matched the aims.
So funny. A bunch of people who knew they'd soon be answering tough questions on child experimentation, trans violence etc all left X for another site, which they promptly turned into such a woke nightmare that even Will Stancil can't take it. pic.twitter.com/lvyN93PYG4

After Newsom said something historically illiterate, Ted Cruz said he was historically illiterate. Newsom went into Total Shrieking Pansy Mode and whined that by saying he's historically illiterate, Ted Cruz was Dog Whistling about the dyslexia that no one believes Gavin Newsom actually has.

Nearly 3 minutes into the "breakdown" does @jaketapper just casually bring up that the FCC never made a threat and Colbert's team didn't want to give equal time to other candidates. Seems like a major part of the story you don't bury that far into the reporting. https://t.co/G57qRkQTzs

How exactly did they think that would work out? I mean it's 2016 and the best they could do is call someone on the Trump team a "faggot" and insinuate that he might be compromised because of that? The 1950s called and want their stuff back. That was really reaching.

As the Communist Cuban Junta Enters End-of-Life Care, Marco Rubio Begins Secretly Talking to Raul Castro's Grandson About a Living Will
Nine days ago, John Sexton predicted the communist regime of Cuba was entering its last year.
They've run out of airplane fuel, leading to grounded airplanes. And they're rationing gasoline. They are no longer receiving gas and oil from Venezuela in return for the state police thugs they sent to protect Maduro and find and torture his critics. Russia is no longer sending its Dark Fleet to aid them either. In fact, the NYT reports that Cuban communists are realizing they are completely isolated and alone.Predictions of the demise of Cuba's government have been made before, notably after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which had been Cuba's main benefactor, only to be proved wrong. But this time, experts say, the survival of Cuba's government appears very much in doubt... The U.S. government "has determined that Cuba must be free before the end of 2026," said Marcell Felipe, a prominent Cuban exile leader in Miami who chairs the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora and said he had met with U.S. diplomats. "This is a plan in motion."... A U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly about the administration’s interactions with Havana said Cuban officials were nervous because they were starting to realize their revolution was coming to an end."And now Axios reports that Rubio is talking to Cuban officials -- to talk about what happens when the regime collapses and society descends into chaos.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been holding secret talks with the grandson and caretaker of Cuba's aging de facto dictator, Raul Castro, as the U.S. puts unprecedented pressure on Havana's regime, three sources tell Axios. Why it matters: The talks between Rubio and Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro are bypassing official Cuban government channels. They show that the Trump administration sees the 94-year-old revolutionary as the communist island's true decision-maker. "I wouldn't call these 'negotiations' as much as 'discussions' about the future," a senior Trump administration official said. Zoom in: Rubio and his team see the 41-year-old grandson and his circle as representing younger, business-minded Cubans for whom revolutionary communism has failed -- and who see value in rapprochement with the U.S. "Our position -- the U.S. government's position -- is the regime has to go," the senior official said. "But what exactly that looks like is up to [President Trump] and he has yet to decide. Rubio is still in talks with the grandson." Called "Raulito," the younger Castro is known in political circles by his nickname "El Cangrejo" ("The Crab") because he has a deformed finger. Zoom out: After 67 years of U.S. sanctions and Cuban mismanagement, the totalitarian government appears closer than ever to collapse as the island teeters on the edge of a humanitarian crisis. The power grid is failing. Hospitals are limiting surgeries. Food and fuel are increasingly scarce. Tourism is drying up. Uncollected garbage is piling up on some street corners. ... Between the lines: The U.S. military's success and technical superiority in the Maduro operation shook Cuba's leadership after American forces suffered no losses and killed at least 32 Cuban intelligence and military officials who were supposed to be guarding Maduro, U.S. officials say. But the U.S. decision to keep Maduro's governing partners in power --notably his Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who's now acting president -- signaled to Cuban insiders that Trump and Rubio are willing to make deals with rivals.
PRESIDENT TRUMP on potential deal with Cuba: "We're talking to Cuba right now."

In all seriousness, Puerto Rico although Puerto Ricans do okay is not wealthy. Puerto Ricans with potential run off to New York and other prosperous US cities. PR as a territory is a dump.
Cuban elites in Cuba even if they are (secretly) not ideological commies can see that open relations will result in the good Cubans fleeing to the US.

We live in a really unstable time, geopolitically speaking. I don't mean in the retarded way neolibs mean when they claim that "climate change" cause instability. I mean that there are many countries (probably well over a dozen) who could collapse at any moment, but predicting which is hard. I was totally surprised at Assad suddenly losing control over Syria in Dec. 2024 after holding on to it for so long, but these collapses only look obvious in retrospect.

The difference is that Puerto Ricans were not driven out with nothing, and therefore do not have the same attachment to their lost homes and lands. I think there will be a huge movement to go back by the grizzled survivors and their descendants, many of whom are loaded and would love to buy back what they lost.

The famous saying is that "there is a lot of ruin in a nation." Cuba is exploring the limits of that saying.
People go bankrupt slowly, then all at once.
Another way to see it, many of these countries are in mutual support networks. Venezuela was kept going by China and Russia, and they kept Cuba going. Venezuela also helped keep China and Russia relevant. Venezuela was the missing middle.

This was probably true the day after Ho died.
Vietnam keeps the gold star around as a point of pride that, under it, they beat the US. There's no ideological attachment to communism over there. They even fought a war against Maoist China (and beat them too).
I've noted here before that Cuba is very different. They have real anti-American, pro-Socialist fanatics there. Or at least had. Now that a bunch of their best got smoked in Caracas they might have less.

I would love to see a not repressed Havana, too. It’s still pretty cool, with some people / areas being more equal than others in communism, of course. It’s where the tourists go, so they try to give it a decent veneer. The antique cars would kind of be missed, but I would love for Cubans to have freedom more than cars we think are cool, and they keep running with twist ties and gum.

At the same time, I can assure you that the US has certain alphabet agency assets in Cuba, and don't be surprised is their main export (Sugar Cane) has a dismal year relative to wireworm and borer stem infestation. I wouldn't be surprised to see a little power plant sabotage by some "unknown" parties as well.
The Cuban infrastructure is absolute shit on it's own, but don't think that isn't a helping hand taking place. And, Canada (and the EU for that matter) has warned the US about unchecked "imperialism/expansion".

Surprise! Harvard Refuses to Obey the Supreme Court Ruling Outlawing Race Discrimination in Admissions. All They've Done Is End Discrimination Against Asians -- and Doubling Up on Anti-White Discrimination
I don't know how many surprises I can take in a week!
Matthew Schmitz:Matthew SchmitzMeanwhile, colleges are de-emphasizing standard English and championing black vernacular as a more authentic form of (academic!) speech.
@matthewschmitz Harvard did not stop discriminating by race, @herandrews writes. It simply stopped doing so against Asians. Affirmative action continues, but now it is entirely at the expense of one race instead of two.
That directive is a byproduct of the NCTE's 2020 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), whose delegates demanded thatMeanwhile, an Ivy League president admits the undeniable: College education is suffering a historic lack of public confidence, and that lack of public trust is well-earned.Teachers stop using academic language and standard English as the accepted communicative norm, which reflects White Mainstream English!and thatTeachers develop and teach Black Linguistic Consciousness that works to decolonize the mind (and/or) language, unlearn white supremacy, and unravel anti-Black linguistic racism!In short, delegates to that conference "DEMAND[ed] Black Linguistic Justice." If you thought that academe's social-justice warriors would retreat in 2025, you will be disheartened to hear what just happened at the Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU). In compliance with the CCCC's 2020 resolution, in December MSU's Writing Center redefined Standard American English as "a social construct that privileges white communities and maintains social and racial hierarchies." The writing center's new policy urges students to "us[e] their English (whatever that may be) in communicating their thoughts and ideas." The Independence Institute was quick to mock MSU's decision, calling it "Good News for White Supremacists" because it "helps assure that people of color stay at the bottom." When the MSU writing center's new posting made national news, university officials "removed that content" and assured students that MSU "remains committed to rigorous academic standards and preparing all students for success in life and careers." The NCTE's "new priests" view grammar instruction as "an instrument of imperialist oppression."
Very few do what President Beilock did. But I recommend that others try. If you have not yet caught up with this story, here is what Beilock did: She published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, frankly acknowledging the drastic decline in public confidence in American higher education. She allowed that the loss of confidence is warranted. As a reader of the Chronicle of Higher Education and other megaphones of the liberal establishment, I know that college presidents know Beilock is right, but they also know that it is an unspeakable truth. The best they can do is declare that the loss of confidence is temporary and that when people come to their senses, they will realize that their colleges and universities fully deserve the respect that students, parents, and taxpayers used to have for the nation's thinkeries. But the American public is more skeptical than ever before in our nation's history that college is "worth it" and that judgment will only grow more intense in the years ahead--unless Beilock's sage advice is heeded. Her short essay names five problems and their possible solutions. The problems are: unaffordability, poor return on investment, political posturing, erasure of poor performance, and corrupt admissions. I've phrased some of those more bitingly than Beilock does. For example, what I label "corrupt admissions," she phrases as the need "to reinstate an SAT/ACT requirement." That requirement was, however, banished mostly because it stood in the way of favoritism in admissions.

This is all of a piece with Newspeak in 1984. Continually shrinking peoples' vocabulary hinders the ability to formulate and express thought. Normalizing and teaching ghetto retardspeak accelerates the process. The inability to string an intelligible sentence together isn't a manifestation of "white supremacy" it's absolute necessary to individuation, self-expression, and independent thought. Which is why they want to get rid of it.

I think it is almost impossible. They rank applications based on more than just SAT. If it is just SAT, there is evidence but they are careful that it is not that. They will claim they wanted a "well rounded" application for admittance. Unless the DOJ demands quotas, but that can't work either. The system is fucked because society is fucked. Cut them off -- no government funding for anything, and tax those buildings too.

1) Everyone takes the SAT.
2) SAT scores are submitted to the college.
3) Top 20% get automatic admissions.
4) Bottom 60% rejected.
5) Middle 20% go into a lottery, where the students are selected at random.
There you go - people likely to fail are not allowed in, and people likely to succeed are allowed in. In the middle, well, it's random, and hence perfectly fair. No essays, no legacy admissions, no DEI, no interviews, no extracurricular garbage, and your (inflated) grades don't matter.
By the way, the SAT has been shown to be an overwhelmingly good predictor of college success.

I was about to say it is coming. Kindltot at number 51 for the win. It's coming, and Harvard is about to take another broadside to the hull. They have no prayer in surviving it, and since the Griggs vs Duke Power case has not been overruled, there is the ability for a direct finding of discrimination, and since it will be in conjunction with violating a previous SCOTUS ruling, big money will be available. The left can pay them off, or ask for Griggs to be overturned. Neither helps them.

ntention of reducing its black and Hispanic quotas, so they simply replaced whites with Asians to respond to the lawsuits.
Somebody should work out your chances of being accepted to Harvard if you are white, and not a:
1) legacy
2) athlete
3) have a parent who is worth at least $100 million
I wonder how many white admits to Harvard are not in those three categories.

It's interesting to me that the left is trying to elevate an accent/dialect simply because it is spoken by black people.
When Asian immigrants write english, they have no trouble with their l's or r's.
When Southerners write english, they don' drop their t's or add an r to words with an a in them or drop r's at the end of words.
When Bostonians write english, they don't add extra a's to words.
But somehow the Black dialect needs to be written. It's almost as though the white people pushing this think black people are incapable of learning proper english. Just like the white supremacists think.

It’s exactly that. Go search out some of the “countering whiteness” guides and posters. It’s literally the same stuff as used to come from slaveowners: it’s whiteness to care about the future, to care about family, to understand cause and effect, to reason. They literally deny the humanity of non-whites.
If only whites can make decisions, who will make decisions for non-whites? They will, of course. And you can see it every time some white liberal calls out a black, or a hispanic, or anyone else for not being a true black, etc.

Imagine being a white dude with all of the economic, social, professional, and romantic advantages over every other race, having that all be statistically demonstrable and still crying on reddit for sympathy.
Trump's DOJ has sued more schools than child rapists.
The Trump regimes attacks on Harvard have failed so far. So they just keep trying to destroy one of the leading academic institutions in the country.
They realize targeting race based admissions wouldn't increase white enrollment but Asian enrollment right?
what if they just said "you told us DEI is woke and gay so we stopped recording race of applicants"

Not a single undergrad from the Ivy's is worth what they expect to be paid, and none of their undergrad programs are the best in their field. Grad school is a different story. Their undergrads are no better - and sometimes worse than grads from the big land grant schools. At the undergrad level in serious subjects I'd take any grad from the top half of the big land grant public schools over any Ivy league undergrad.

1. Purely objective -- SAT, extracurricular, writing score, socioeconomic,... whatever. that can be worked out.
2. Federal oversight. Colleges must follow the score. Period.
3. OK, then what to do if you want more minorities? Well, allow (encourage) schools to set up farm leagues -- start at kindergarten if they think that works. Have Harvard (Berkeley, MIT, Yale, ....) run k-12 schools in the inner city. Let them admit based on whatever they like - race, inability to speak proper English, rap skills, bussin grills,,... whatever. Train those kids to do well on the score. Remover their disadvantage. That means in 12 years they should have good students capable of admission. If they can't do it, then that tells us something. If they can, it tells us how to improve our public schools to help everyone.

No government backed student loans...
In fact, make it law that if a College Grad does NOT have a Job in his field, within 5 years, the COLLEGE is liable for 50% of that loan.

It's right out in the open. They put up monuments to Satan.
They want to castrate children and the ones that get away they medically murder. It's logically inexplicable. If cost is an issue, why isn't assisted suicide offered in prisons, specifically people there for life without parole? Oh wait, murders and rapists must be protected at any cost.
But troubled 20-year-olds? Bump 'em off. The younger the better. Wipe out all of humanity.

YES!
also, no government grant funded research.
There are a few options here and it is more complex (x-prizes, block grants, funded chairs,....) but grants for research is a terrible system. Worse, they get to keep the IP. Why would we do that?

That is the end state of evil. I saw a promo for a video that says China went on a 100 day killing spree between May and August of 1991, and government records confirm no live births during that period. I mentioned it to a coworker and he got very serious and said some colleagues of his went to China in the late 80s as part of technological exchanges and they were openly killing the kids of families with too many of them.

The "left", and 90% of the GOP, are simply waiting out Trump. A % move, given the factors noted above, which apply to much of the country.
Sure there have been some ratchet clicks in a positive direction that will not be easy to undo quickly (Chevron, etc). But overall, not too encouraging, if one keeps in mind that the "opposition" is now completely bats**t, and the electorate still essentially sleepy and clueless.

The witch trials are one of the most misunderstood and lied-about events in our history. To begin with, people do think mass numbers were killed. The reality? Maybe 20.
Of those 20, at least 5 were men.

It Begins: Canada Now Murdering People For Minor Ailments, Just As Predicted
The left rails about insurance companies not covering certain drugs or treatments because they're too expensive.
But when the state literally murders people as a way of keeping down government health costs, they applaud.So he was blind and suffered from Type I diabetes, which I understand is quite treatable with injections. (Let me know if I'm wrong.) So Canada deemed these maladies "grievous and irremediable" and performed yet another Doctor-Directed Murder.
Distraught family blasts Canada for euthanizing son, 26, who suffered from 'seasonal depression' By KELLY GARINO, US REPORTER A family has accused Canada's laws of 'killing the disabled and vulnerable' months after their son, who suffered from seasonal depression, died by assisted suicide. Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man with Type 1 diabetes, died in December using Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, which allows patients with 'grievous and irremediable' medical conditions to request a lethal drug.
Eligibility was expanded in 2021 to include people with chronic illnesses, disabilities and, pending parliamentary review, potentially individuals with certain mental health conditions. Vafaeian faced mental health struggles stemming from a car accident at 17, and according to his mother, his depression often flared during the winter months. For years, the family had successfully prevented their son from using the program. Last year, however, Dr Ellen Wiebe, a MAID provider in British Columbia, approved Vafaeian's death - news the family only learned about days later. Vafaeian's mother, Margaret Marsilla of Ontario, alleged that Wiebe was 'coaching' her son on how to qualify as a Track 2 patient - those whose natural deaths aren't deemed 'reasonably imminent,' according to Fox News Digital. 'We believe that she was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for,' Marsilla told the outlet.
''' ... Vafaeian's death certificate now lists the 'antecedent causes' of his assisted suicide as blindness, severe peripheral neuropathy - nerve damage outside the brain and spinal cord that causes pain and numbness - and diabetes. But his parents said his medical records did not back up the claim that 'severe peripheral neuropathy' was a qualifying factor for his assisted suicide. 'Realistically, safeguards for patients would be reaching out to their family members, giving them a whole bunch of different treatment options,' Marsilla told Fox. She argued that doctors can approve and carry out euthanasia on Track 2 patients in just 90 days under the current system. 'How is that safe for patients?' she added.
Read the whole thing. Dr. Death is proud and cracks jokes about her murders:
In an interview with the Free Press, Wiebe joked that she had brought more than 1,000 babies into the world while also helping 'more than 500 patients die.' She also described assisted suicide as 'the best work I've ever done.' 'I have a very strong, passionate desire for human rights,' Wiebe explained. 'I'm willing to take risks for human rights as I do for abortion.'Canada is a world leader in killing the sad:
Canada has one of the highest rates of medically assisted deaths in the world, 5.1 percent, or a total of 16,499 deaths in 2024.
Obviously the same people who approve of child genital mutilations and consider abortion a religious sacrament will also support murdering the sick and sad.

This exactly - Canada and socialized medicine will love to kill the chronically diseased, which many depression cases fall into, b/c they are the most expensive, long term, to the system. And if you're young and chronic, they want to rush you off b/c you could be decades of care...

MAID is the answer to a lot of Canada's problems.
- Fail to pass a balanced budget: MAID for every politician that failed.
- Give worked property to a passing Indian tribe: MAID.
-Abuse the rights of truckers - MAID.
I can keep going, but the pattern is clear. Make policy failure people into organ donors.

The statement revives a debate that first erupted in 2022 when Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians appeared before Parliament’s Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying. Roy suggested the program could be considered for “babies from birth to one year of age” who are born with severe deformities or disabilities, Farrow reported.
In 2024 alone, there were 16,499 reported euthanasia deaths, bringing the total to 76,475 by year’s end, according to government data cited by Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. By early 2026, Schadenberg estimated at least 94,000 deaths since legalization.

BTW, the United Kingdom made all residents "OPT OUT" without debate or legislation about a year and a half ago. This year, they approved Euthanasia in that country. They didn't screw up. Look for the UK to overtake Canada as #1 on organ donation from a Euthanasia program shortly. Interestingly, China still considers Euthanasia illegal...at least outside of their concentration work camps.

It is the LOGICAL outcome of adopting a collectivist mindset.
The argument the Germans made at the time was supporting people that couldn't produce economic value was stealing money and time from productive people and therefore unfair to those "superior" people.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has ended a practice that prevented veterans who can’t manage their finances from owning guns, a change officials say will restore constitutional rights to nearly 200,000 former service members.
The VA announced Tuesday it will immediately stop reporting veterans to the FBI’s national background check database if they need a fiduciary to help manage their benefits.
Proponents of the decades-old policy have said it protects veterans with mental impairments by limiting access to a lethal means of suicide. But major veteran advocacy groups and gun rights organizations have long argued the notifications weren’t based on thorough mental assessments and actually prevented veterans from seeking help for fear of losing their 2nd Amendment rights.

With today's medicine and technology as far as CGMS systems and insulin pumps, combined with our better understanding of how the endocrine system works - its easier now to live as a Type 1 than it ever has been. Yes there are rough days, but there are many, many more good ones where I give thanks to God that I live in the day and age that I do. If I had been born even 20 yeas prior - I'd probably be looking at a life span of 50 years or less. Now, I'll be kicking well past my sell-by date.
The fact that this man was blind was probably a side effect of Type 1. I've had 6 eye surgeries/laser treatments to treat my diabetic retinopathy.
I'm going to put money on the table and bet that as a Canadian, this poor guy didn't have access ot the medicine, technology and healthcare facilities I did.

With roughly four months until California's jungle primary, when the top two performers advance to the general election regardless of party, Democratic contenders continue to lose ground.
A new Emerson College Polling survey released Wednesday shows GOP candidate Steve Hilton leading with 17% support, followed by fellow Republican Chad Bianco and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell tied at 14%. Former Democratic Rep. Katie Porter trails at 10%.

True - my private insurance would not approve the cutting edge one I requested (even though it was time-limited). But I got my 2nd choice (not time limited) b/c I proved the "original" chemos would not work (and with my genetic deletions, found b/c we do pay for genetic testing), so I skipped them. I highly encourage folks to get on cancer boards and chat with other patients who can help you know what is available and how. If you are an informed patient in the US with a doc who wants what's best for you, you can make much better treatment happen than the world gets...

This was a cancer situation. Glioblastoma multiforme. He was losing a little more of everything day by day. I suppose on balance I do not approve of assisted suicide, or suicide for that matter, but living in the situations that instigate it are often pretty gut wrenching, would you agree?
Posted by: tubal at February 18, 2026 04:11 PM (pDt9x)
Of course, it's gut wrenching. It's why none of us kids decided to convince my dad to keep going. But letting God decide the time gave us weeks to see him and all say goodbye and let go. And him sticking around let him see pics of his 1st grandkid, born 5 weeks early on Dec 8, the Immaculate Conception, and he died 3 days before her original due date, 1 month after her birth, which meant I could travel with her to the funeral (and she was the 1st great grandkid, too).
God's will had to play a part in that timing...

You dont have to use extraordinary means to sustain life if you have a problem like that. But i dont think getting hit on the head so they can throw you onto the cart is a good solution. Whether you ask someone to do it, or someone else does it to you. You can get pain killers and anxiolytics if you need them. Ultimately it is usually a neurotic control issue. You lost control over your life, and you want to reassert while you can. However one's sense of control while well is an illusion anyway. That lesson is hard learned, and harder unlearned.

It does. I have unhappily known 5 people who have died of glioblastoma multiforme, which is a lot, considering the uncommoness of it. Only one suicide. I am very much Christian and that made the man’s suicide a real test. Would I do it? No. Would I pray for a quick release? You betcha.

Winter seasonal depression is one of the many psychological ailments that is measured on a scale. Everyone in Canada (and the northern states) has suffered from it at least once. Before life itself become a psychological disorder we in Michigan used to call it cabin fever, whether it involved a cabin or not.

So, I just went to verify that D is over the counter in Canada (assumed it was, but never assume about Canada) and got this AI response:
“Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a crucial supplement for Canadians, especially from October to March due to limited sun exposure, aiding in immune function and bone health. Health Canada recommends daily supplementation for most, particularly during winter, with popular brands including Jamieson, Webber Naturals, and Kirkland Signature.”
So you can self-medicate with Jamieson or Jameson. Or the truly healing power of “and”.

Norway officially stopped their sterilization of the Saami in 1977, which was a very big deal because the government had a eugenics policy against them since the '40s or so.

Democrat Snake Ted Lieu: The Epstein Files, Which Are Filled with Disproven False Tips About Everyone, Show That Trump was Raping Children
Investigatory files are full of false claims. The cops don't just receive valid leads, of course. They receive a lot of absolute nonsense "tips," which is why you always hear the cliched line in a movie about a gruesome murder, "We don't want the press getting a hold of this." Because they know their phone lines will be jammed with the hallucinations of attention-whores and schizophrenics.
The Epstein files are likewise filled with a lot of absolute garbage. Particularly because left-wing lunatics took the opportunity to flood the FBI and police with a ton of a completely-fabricated (or completely-hallucinated) claims that Donald Trump was raping everyone. Raping who? Raping EV-ER-Y-ONE! Thanks to the great work of Thomas Massie and MTG, the Democrats are now paging through completely fake "tips" and claiming they're all real:

@shipwreckedcrew 1h Told ya so. To all the brain-dead MAGA that have been one-note simpletons on "Release the Epstein Files".... Jamie Raskin and Ted Lieu now to the national and international media .... "The Epstein files show President Trump raped little girls." Like the sun rising in the morning. Democrats have absolutely no limit in their consciences about what they will and will not say in pursuit of the goal of seeing Pres. Trump driven from office. This has been true since the summer of 2016, and they have never wavered. Massie, Mace, MTG, and Boebert -- too stupid for words.
“Principled conservative” Thomas Massie told Politico he withheld his support on a key vote because he wasn’t praised by Speaker Johnson for the Epstein file releases.

It's time to stop being upset or mad that any republican wanted to release the files. It was damned if we did, damned if we didn't. This dumb shit was always going to be the result if we did, but if we didn't they would just spend all their time claiming the GOP is covering up for pedos, which, guess what, they're ALSO doing as we speak.
Basically stop caring what democrats say because it's all fake and gay.

The problem is the hundreds of DOJ lawyers who are solely dedicated to following redaction rules to be able to release the files at all.
Instead of advancing the president's agenda, hundreds of DOJ lawyers are sitting there with redaction software with grand jury testimony about a guy who died 6 years ago.
That's what Massie accomplished.

It won't matter who or how many or what the hundreds of known and proven Democrats did on Epstein Island--the only thing the Dems and the media will talk about is Trump.

But...here's the mistake that right leaning office holders are making...
Most people won't read the emails or the GJ testimony. So when normies here the actual results AND the left going on about Trump they assume both are true.
To fix this you have to start prosecuting the actual people working with Epstein. And you know what...if you don't have a perfect case Bondi and the rest do it anyway. Let Bill Clinton go on trial and be found innocent. Why? Because those normies barely paying attention are going to assume the fix was in but notice only Dems are being charged...

Trump news at a glance: Hillary Clinton urges Trump administration to release millions of withheld Epstein files
‘We have nothing to hide,’ former secretary of state says ahead of her and Bill Clinton’s depositions next week
Guardian staff
Tue 17 Feb 2026
Hillary Clinton has accused the Trump administration of a “cover-up” over the Epstein files, while claiming that she and her husband are being forced to testify before Congress to deflect scrutiny from Donald Trump.
>BBC, Hillary Clinton accuses Trump administration of Epstein files 'cover-up' in BBC interview, 1 day ago
Lengthy article. In part,
"In relation to the allegations against Trump, the DoJ has previously said: "Some docs contain untrue and sensationalist claims against Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear the claims are unfounded and false and if they have any shred of credibility they certainly would have been weaponized against Trump already."

Epstein has always been an online only obsession without any real political influence.
Trump mentioned the Epstein files like once in the entire campaign. And it was reactive. "Oh, sure, we can look into that."
People didn't vote for Trump in any material numbers because of the Epstein files. It's Russian collusion again, but with less cross-party support.
And Russian collusion worked so well that they did covid after which they mail in ballot cheated for months after which they shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely beat him in the electoral college.

I also run that stat by my Lefty "feminist" friends.
First I would have them admit that Amnesty International is a reliable source. (Easy, because it leans far left.)
Then find the AI statement that up to 60% of females were raped on the journey.
When Biden was letting in 250,000 people a month, I would say that was at least 100,000 women, right?
The math then says 60,000 rapes per month.
Times 48 months of the Biden administration, that reaches your (ballpark) figure of 2.9 million rapes.

So...assuming SC had one other future president, then the correct answer is 22 if you credit NC with Jackson.
UNLESS SC didn't produce any other presidents, in which case the correct answer remains 21 states were the birthplaces of future presidents.

A lot of the messages are definitely weird, and I think must be a code language.
I dismissed most of the comet pizza stuff because it all just sounded like drug code to me. (I was a community radio DJ and I knew a lot of druggies, and I knew their codes although I mostly did not do that stuff.) The "pizza" code sounded just like pot, coke, etc... word substitution.
This new jerky code could be that, but not sure. I have not looked into it much as it is either boring, or terrifying. I just don't know which. There is also a lot of talk about tunnels, but I have not read up on that either.

Jerky has become a sort of "cool" thing in the last decade so maybe it really is the food, though for an older rich guy Epstein sure seems to talk a lot about pizza with his associates in those emails.

Some of this information is clearly criminal and immoral. Words and videos of criminal and immoral acts that I think would infuriate most people if they knew of it. Some of it is self incriminating, emails from perpetrators stating these acts. The DOJ has redacted the names of the senders of these emails. Why?
Is the DOJ going to bring these people to justice? Are the hiding the names for prosecution reasons or are they hiding the names to protect them?
The reputation of the DOJ is such that most people will think it is protection. The nature of the crimes demands accountability.

One person who is getting a lot of fallout from the Epstein files is Reid Hoffman. Apparently, he was very tight with Epstein, stayed at his place in Manhattan, St Thomas and on the ranch in New Mexico.
And he was the guy who funded the fake E Jean Carroll rape bullshit among other things.

No way anything actually true and incriminating is left. Then throw in the intel op/honey trap and misinfo gets piled on by the truck load to discredit anything.
If our intel was in on it, they're out of line. If our intel wasn't in on it, they failed to address so many prominent Americans from being compromised.

Yup.
They already ran that play in TX on the Antifa.
The black cow defense attorney wore a t-shirt with the pictures of MLK and other civil rights "leaders" along with pictures of the defendants during voir dire.
"Oh I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that!" she lied after she later turned her shirt inside-out.
The judge had to declare a mistrial. And is pissed.
But here's where the left is going to realize you don't fuck with the judge and his trial:
He's already told her "we're going to have a show-cause hearing after this is over" to see if I should hold you in contempt and refer you for sanctions.
Hint: Make sure your E&O premium is paid up, bitch.
And oh yeah, there are laws on the books that lying in voir dire to hide your intent to enact jury nullification is a crime.

She was wearing a shirt that the potential jurors could see that basically said " these defendants are just like MLK fighting for justice! (by trying to kill ICE officers)."
She also tried sneak in and show the jury a poster board of ... something, article didn't say.
1) you don't ever get to show a jury anything unless it's cleared by the judge.
2) and no where ever under any rule are you allowed to do that to the voir dire panel.
Judge was like, I don't know what kind of stupid shit you are used to pulling in state court, but we don't do that here at all.
Again: He's going to hold her in contempt after the trial--he's not going to let the defendant's weasel out another long delay by claiming they don't have an attorney.
And, he's going to have her referred for discipline by the state bar. And they will jump however high the judge says.

"Report: Legacy media 'journalist' caught giving Marco Rubio the finger during press conference"
Excerpt:
"Earlier this week, a camera caught propagandist Thomas Escritt of Bloomberg repeatedly flipping his middle fingers at Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The incident occurred at a Monday press conference in Budapest with Rubio and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, according to Townhall.
In a clip posted Tuesday to the social media platform X, Escritt, in a failed attempt at subtlety, kept his arms down and, while seated, raised the middle finger on both hands as he casually twirled and pointed them in Rubio's direction."

Democrats Demand Censure for Congressman Randy Fine Due to His Protection of Dogs From Arrogant Foreign Colonizers
Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam's 7th-century hatred of man's best friend, dogs. Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani -- who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York. "NYC is coming to Islam," said a February 12 tweet from Kiswani, referring to the November electoral victory of Zohran Mamdani, the Ugandan-born, Indian-origin, immigrant, populist, and Muslim Mayor of New York. She added: Kiswani responded to many critics: "Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something. It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is shitting everywhere and you're not cleaning it." Fine responded three days later, on February 15: "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." Many Democrats immediately accused Fine of racism and bigotry. "We must call this what it is. Disgusting bigotry," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) reacted. "Fine must be censured." After thousands of users pointed out that Khanna was clearly missing the context of Fine's post, he tried again: "Taking an alleged comment by one person and attributing it to everyone who shares that person's faith is the definition of bigotry," he stated. Fine mocked Khanna's wording of "an alleged comment," as there was no disputing that Kiswani's statement was publicly posted. "Perhaps you should have read it before spouting off like an idiot," the Congressman quipped. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) lamented that Fine's "Islamophobic" comment is "incredibly damaging to Jews trying to combat antisemitism." "America is BETTER because of our Muslim community," Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wrote. "And we are WORSE when assholes like this guy spout hate." "This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) vented. "Fine should be censured & stripped of committees." Fine's November opponent, Jennifer Jenkins, responded, "I'm running to kick that bigot out of Washington."They're plotting to force a censure vote.
errick EvansWill Chamberlain predicted that softhand cucked "Republicans" will go along with this. They will virtue signal their adherence to the left-wing Gay Race Communism agenda, while having previously refused to vote for censures of Ilhan "Omar" Nur and Epstein PR manager Stacey Plaskett, among others. Granny Groyper won't say anything about Candace Owens accusing Erika Kirk of murdering her husband or, now, that she's a secret groomer and sex trafficker, but she did freak out like a good AWFUL (which is all she's ever been) when Randy Fine said that if Muslims want to ban dogs, we'll chose dogs over Muslims 11 times out of ten:
@DerrickEvans4WV 2h 🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Chip Roy vows to oppose any Democrat effort to censure Rep. Randy Fine after Fine stood firm in defense of Americans' right to own dogs. The left is furious, but Roy says he won't back down.

The goal is to get the target society to bend to their will. The camel's nose under the tent.
Banning dogs is the first step, their damn speakers 5 times a day is the second. With the two of them, they claim that land as under their control. They have a very refined strategy of conquest and this is how it starts.
The fact that there is such pushback means that it is important to them (over the target). Dogs are very common in many muslim countries, it is not that they hate dogs, or pork, or women's hair,.... it is that these things are an easy first step. A way to divide the target country and get their issues on the forefront, define who will bow to their demands, and justify simple changes to the target society "to be more welcoming."

Besides, he’s not wrong. “If we’re forced to choose…” is the important part.
Islam or Moslems are making these demands in places like the Not So Great Britain. The old boilerplate in the “Melting Pot” USA too, has gone away, replaced by Americans are expected to accede to unreasonable absurd demands that foreign illegal invaders must be accommodated.
Fuck that. He’s not wrong, not even a little bit.

He’s cyber stalking Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime, who joked a few days ago that the NYC dog owners not picking up the snow poop situation shows that Muslims are right that dogs are unclean and shouldn’t be inside animals.
When centrists tell you to listen to "the other side", this is the racist shit "the other side" is saying.
Also centrists are big on process but there's video of this right wing shithead voting at absent members' consoles to try and boost an anti-BDS measure
Average islamaphobe reaction to a muslim person making a joke. Zionists will agree with stuff like this and then tell you with a straight face that antisemitism is more extreme than islamophobia. It’s so normalized and acceptable you don’t even notice it
As a Muslim immigrant, I take great pride knowing that I terrify this miserable piece of shit. Let this coward be scared. He would never say it to my face.

Think about that -- in Iran, being gay is so forbidden that they trans them (cut off their dick) or throw them off buildings (their choice) and there are many feral dogs in the country. But here they want to ban dogs in Western cities.
Do you see what they are doing? The tolerate gays in the West because they see that as destructive to the target country. They want dogs out because it is a way to assert control and force compliance. Also, dogs are effective defense by women against rape and attack. Think about it.
They go to their meetings of Friday and come out ready to find insult wherever they can. They are told to tolerate the gays because it is destructive to the society, but find any other insult and use that to cry "victim" and demand "tolerance." This is programmed in them from the mosque funders in S. A. and Qatar.

It's not even really fasting. It's not eating in the day, like many working people. Once sundown comes, they pig out all night long.

Wikipedia, in part: Randall Adam Fine[3] was born on April 20, 1974[4] in a Jewish family in Tucson, Arizona.[5][4] Fine's father, H. Alan Fine, a graduate of MIT, was a professor of engineering at the University of Kentucky.[6][7] His mother, Harriet, who had been a junior high school science teacher, died in 2024 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease.[8][9]
---
"We must call this what it is. Disgusting bigotry," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) reacted. "Fine must be censured. It’s about morality and decency, not politics.”
Khanna and others are defending this & his other BS? > "Kiswani responded to many critics: "Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something."
If Ro Khanna and others are going to defend, I want to see & hear them defend that ^ too.

Thousands of Oregonians have signed a petition to get animal safety on the ballot this November, making it one step closer to an all-state ban. People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions Act (PEACE) is asking Oregonians to put wild animals at the forefront of the ballot this year, but they've acknowledged getting 50 percent of residents on board will be an uphill battle. 'We really want to make Oregon the first state to vote on something like this,' David Michelson, the act's chief petitioner, told KOIN.

The PEACE Act doesn't cover just wild animals. It covers farm livestock, poultry, and fishing, too. Ranching, for all intents and purposes would be outlawed. That's millions of dollars and a lot of jobs. Trout fishing - banned.

I still think the theory that women are trailing indicators of the movement of cultures is more right than wrong.
They are defenders of established moral orders, and when that order is threatened with change, they become the most vocal in defending it.
So, the louder the women, the more in decay the moral order they are defending is.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined Khanna’s call to censure Fine.
“This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official,” she wrote. “It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured and stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.”
Pretend NYC resident, racist, & commie.
Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) argued that Fine’s statement “is what it looks like when Islamophobia and outrage are the only two items on your political agenda,” and demanded that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issue a formal condemnation.
('Menendez bribery trial witness details Egyptian halal beef monopoly scheme.')
Jennifer Jenkins, a Democrat RUNNING AGAINST Fine in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, said that censuring the Republican lawmaker was not enough. (Emphasis mine.)
Enough said. Losers, all. imho.

“One Man One Vote” is the proximate cause of this? a SCOTUS decision made decades ago.
Many states had the local equivalent of the Electoral College. The idea of course, was to prevent one or two large cities dominating the rest of the state, and rural counties, with their insane delusions. A balance between interests.
Democracy, ultimately, is just stupid, on steroids. They never stop trying to destroy everything they don’t understand.

The term "Islamophobic" is really starting to piss me off. I don't have an "irrational fear" of Islam. I just don't like it. I'd go so far as to say I hate the concept and the embellishment/ misrepresentation of it's origin and fundamental basis.
Can we, at least, clear that up so there is no misunderstanding? If you are going to slap a suffix on Islam, make it accurate and clarifying.
"Islammisia" is more correct. "misia" derived from the Greek "misos" (hatred) is acceptable. They skip to the term that mean bigotry (Islamophobic) to avoid the substance of their beliefs. That's manipulative, and false.

It's amazing how much background white noise stays background white noise when Congressional GOP leadership isn't feeding it with hearings because the "accusations are serious and need investigation."
If Ryan and Mitch had treated Trump as normal in 2017, the Russian collusion stuff as nonsense (which they knew since they had the top secret briefings), and just funded a real infrastructure bill, Trump would have been a boring president.

The Prophet Muhammad stated that you can only keep a dog for hunting, herding or farming other than these would result in a loss of reward.
Many scholars consider a dog's saliva to be impure which affects ritual cleanliness.
Some believe that if a dog touches a person, they must wash the affected area to maintain ritual purity.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A mistrial has been declared on the first day of the historic first federal Antifa terrorism trial after a woke lawyer for one of the defendants engaged in misconduct.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman halted the jury selection process after noticing that MarQuetta Clayton, a BLM-activist attorney for one of the defendants, was wearing a politically-charged t-shirt with images of Martin Luther King, Jr. and messaging about civil rights.

Nope. He's a lightweight right now.
A post from this morning Daily Tech News:
151 Mamdani's a lightweight.
Delaware County (Delco), PA, approved a 19% property tax hike for 2026, marking the second consecutive year of double-digit increases after a 23% raise in 2025. These hikes, totaling over 40% in just two years, are driven by the depletion of federal COVID-19 relief funds, a structural budget deficit, and rising costs.
Plus astounding legal costs, corporation development & those payrolls & benefits, and buying & maintaining EVs.

Seriously, if some film producer just said "Fuck you" to the Left's cancel culture and funded an animated feature film with the plot of: Muslims take over NYC, start massacring dogs in the street (as happens in Muslim cities all over the world in reality) by beating them to death with sticks, but then the dogs form an underground resistance and make a truce and alliance with their traditional enemies the cats and then the dogs+cats together fight back with slapstick guerrilla warfare and defeat the Muslim dog-killers, and in the final scene the dogs help get a new dog-loving mayor elected -- that producer would rake in a billion dollars, easy. He'd get savaged in the MSM, but have the most profitable film of the decade.

>Videos circulating online over the weekend show the Islamic call to prayer being broadcast over loudspeakers in parts of New York City, prompting both criticism and defense from residents and public figures.
The development comes weeks after voters elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor. Online commentators linked the broadcasts to the city’s changing political leadership, though reports indicate that permission for certain outdoor call-to-prayer broadcasts began under former Mayor Eric Adams in 2023.

Theo WoldBecause Colbert is attacking the network, CBS was forced to defend itself from Colbert's self-serving, partisan-motivated lies:
@RealTheoWold 20h A neat little trick here from Talarico and Colbert Federal law since 1932 has required broadcast media to give equal time to competing political candidates, but Colbert wanted to platform only Talarico and not his other opponents. So, he interviews Talarico but releases the video only online. Everyone who sees it thinks it aired on the show, Colbert doesn't have to give equal time, and since he has virtually no TV viewers anyway, he still reaches his maximum audience. Meanwhile, Talarico falsely claims that he's being censored and gets free publicity two weeks out from his primary election by claiming that almost a century of federal law is somehow President Trump's fault. An ingenious way of getting around the law indeed...
Brian Stelter
@brianstelter This just in from CBS: "THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options."
Nick SortorYou know who confirms this version of events? Jasmine Ratchet herself, who was told by CBS they had instructed Colbert he should have her on in the interests of equal time, but Colbert never called her to arrange it:
@nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING: CBS just called out their OWN HOST, Stephen Colbert, and Dem. Senate candidate James Talarico for LYING by claiming Trump's FCC BLOCKED their interview from airing on TV In a statement, CBS said Colbert "was NOT prohibited from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled." So Colbert didn't want to have Jasmine Crockett on, so he made up an excuse saying the FCC barred his interview. What a loser 🤣
Crockett: We actually received a phone call a little bit earlier today—they explained that they actually told CBS that they could go ahead and move forward with the interview of James Talarico. They just needed to offer me equal time… I've been on Colbert multiple times.. pic.twitter.com/ssDukVf1Xi

Crockett is essentially calling Talarico and Colbert liars now.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) February 18, 2026
Says the federal government had nothing to do with shutting the interview down, and that Colbert could’ve had her on to resolve the issue, but didn’t want to.
Jasmine looks like she's slowly coming to the… https://t.co/qFcWr8Wlpj pic.twitter.com/PKNLklCqJV
Colbert is not mad at CBS, he's just disappointed 😉 "I'm just so surprised that this giant, global corporation would not stand up to these bullies." https://t.co/c3Mbl98vLe pic.twitter.com/Hkjhi4zuJY

The Stephen Colbert ratings freefall has reached an undeniable breaking point. As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its already-announced cancellation, the program is now posting record-low January numbers, marking one of the steepest late-night declines in recent television history. According to Nielsen data reported this week, Colbert's show is averaging roughly 285,000 viewers in the crucial 25--54 demographic, putting it on track for its worst January performance ever in the category that advertisers actually care about. With just months left before the curtain closes for good, the ratings trajectory suggests viewers have been checking out long before CBS formally pulled the plug.
(Thanks to Beege Wellborn.) How much more of this does CBS put up with, as Colbert attacks them to drive up interest in his coming "Colbert Unchained" (or whatever) podcast? At what point do they pull him off the air? Happy Wednesday!

The dynamic between the two dog show hosts commenting to the audience reminds me sooooo much of Abby Phillips and Scott Jennings. The really stupid one saying outrageous things, and the knowledgeable one trying to course correct so things don't implode.
If CNN was smart, they would give Scott his own show. He can still do Abby's, like his Gutfeld has his own show and also does the Five. It would give them a shot at decent ratings.

The Man Show was about 95% Carolla. Kimmel's one semi-funny contribution was the Yokozuna. Kimmel and Carolla were in Kimmel's brother's apartment and the brother was laying on the La-Z-Boy napping. So Kimmel drops his pants and chonies and jumps on, rubbing his bare squeekhole on his sleeping brother's face.
That was the Yokozuna.

Wow, you are correct. The intertubes is a wonderful thing.
The term douchenozzle (often written as "douche nozzle" or "douche-nozzle") is a relatively modern slang insult, essentially a playful or exaggerated variation on the older term "douchebag" (meaning a contemptible, arrogant, or obnoxious person, with "douchebag" dating back to at least the 1940s–1950s in pejorative use).
It combines "douche" (from the pejorative slang) with "nozzle" (referring to the actual inserted part of a douche device), implying something like "the pointy/annoying part that delivers the douche." It's not a literal term for the device in most slang contexts—it's purely derogatory.
The earliest widely documented appearance of "douchenozzle" as an insult comes from around 2003, when it first showed up on Urban Dictionary. That's the point where it entered broader internet slang and meme culture. Some sources trace the "-nozzle" twist as part of a wave of creative "douche-" compounds (like douchecanoe, doucheface, etc.) that gained traction in the early-to-mid 2000s online

Strange how we had to elect unlikable corporate puppets that are female like Harris and Hillary but if we want to put up a likable progressive, it's, oh we can't vote for a woman because conservatives.
she’s got balls but needs more experience before being the leading Dem. Maybe another 4-8 years and we’ll see.
What’s not to love. She is brilliant and so eloquent. She should replace Hakim Jeffries as house leader. He snapped again yesterday when asked if he’ll take AIPAC $.
She didn’t fumble anything. Other than the equator thing which is easy to do, she was correct. Trump in front of millions and said people were eating cats and dogs. Why do people expect democrats to be perfect?

(Bloomberg) -- Palantir Technologies Inc. said it’s moved its headquarters to Miami from Denver at a time when tech firms are headed to South Florida as local officials promote the region as an alternative to California’s Silicon Valley...Palantir, a data analytics company with extensive defense contracts, is Colorado’s largest public company. Its decision followed multiple protests since it moved to Denver in 2020 from Palo Alto, due to cultural and ideological differences, according to the Denver Post. Protests have targeted the company’s support of the Israeli military and more recently its work with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement by using artificial intelligence to identify targets for deportation.

I grew up on Cincinnati Chili and El Paso style TexMex. My mom never liked the Skyline version though. She got her recipe by duplicating chili from the hole-in-the-wall greasepit a block away from where she lived while in high school.
She gives me shit because I don't like the raw onion on my chili, says it's not authentic without the onion.

(In part) BREAKING: Stephen Colbert destroys CBS's damage control lies about the cancellation of his James Talarico interview and says that he's "so surprised that this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies."
He wasn't about to let them slither off the hook...
"They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS lawyers, who, for the record, approve every script that goes on the air,” Colbert said on his show last night.
“In fact, between the monologue I did last night, and before I did the second act talking about this issue, I had to go backstage,” he went on. “I got called backstage to get more notes from these lawyers. Something that had never, ever happened before.”
On Monday night, the late night host revealed that the network's attorneys had informed him "in no uncertain terms" that he "could not have [Talarico] on the broadcast." Talarico is a charismatic Texas State Representative running for a Senate seat and Republicans are terrified that he might flip the state. To avoid angering Trump and his ludicrously corrupt FCC lapdog Brendan Carr — a man who has displayed a terrifying willingness

“Not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” Colbert said at the time. “And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”
The issue at hand is the FCC's “equal time” rule which requires broadcast stations to give equal airtime to opposing political candidates. There has always been an exception to the rule for talk shows, but Carr has indicated that he may gut that exception. CBS chose to proactively cave to avoid a showdown with him.
“We looked, and we can’t find one example of this rule being enforced for any talk show interview — not only for my entire late-night career, but for anyone’s late-night career, going back to the 1960s,” Colbert said last night.
The backlash to the interview blockade was widespread and swift. Americans were horrified by the blatant attack on the First Amendment. CBS, which is owned by Paramount, rushed to save face by insisting that they had not spiked the segment, but of course they have an incentive to lie to protect their corporate profits.
Much more follows.

While the biggest black counties in Texas are running at Obama 2008 levels of turnout.
The betting markets are not nearly big enough to be awed as "the wisdom of crowds". They are predominantly white progressives who buy any white progressive aligned narrative that pops up.
The 2024 House prediction on Polymarket was 60% Democrat for months. Almost the entire two years the market was open. It didn't go majority Republican in the betting until 7 pm...election night.

I especially hate the ones that you want to be real, because those are the most effective lies, because you do half the work yourself (subconsciously) by lying to yourself. So, those are the lies you have to work the hardest (consciously) to guard against.
Like, Pallas's cats. They cannot be domesticated, let alone housebroken; they're not just "feral" like a housecat that was born outside and has never known a human touch, but like a wild animal with no tamed ancestors, since that's what they are. But they look so cute! It's a nice fantasy, but only a fantasy, that you could find an abandoned kit and raise it without realizing. I blocked the channel, but wished I could nuke it.

Wednesday Morning Rant
The festival's jury president declared that they ought to consider shutting up about politics:
"We have to stay out of politics," Wenders replied. "If we make movies that are dedicatedly political, we enter the field of politics. But we are the counterweight to politics."There was, of course, "backlash" and most of it not from the industry people who were there. It came from the real bad actors there. Take these quotes, and consider what is not being said by The Hollywood Reporter.
This year, however, politics threatens to overwhelm the festival itself. In press conference after press conference, talent has found itself fielding questions less about their films than about Gaza, German state funding and the return of Donald Trump to the White House. What was once a forum for engaged -- sometimes heated -- debate has, critics argue, become a stage for viral confrontation.
Neil Patrick Harris, in Berlin with the Generation title Sunny Dancer, faced pointed questions about American democracy and healthcare systems. "While I have my own political opinions," Harris said, "I never read this script as a political statement."
Honorary Golden Bear recipient Michelle Yeoh was pressed within minutes of her official press conference about the U.S. political landscape. "I don't think I am in the position to really talk about the political situation in the U.S.," she said, pivoting back to cinema.What is missing from each of those descriptions? The actual point is clear in that actors and the like are increasingly refusing to answer nakedly political questions that often have no relevance to their work - but what The Hollywood Reporter leaves out is why this is coming up in the first place. There is another party in all this: journalists. Many actors aren't talking politics of their own accord, they're being cornered by reporters. Re-read those excerpts above, and this time put the unmentioned second party into it. For example:
Neil Patrick Harris, in Berlin with the Generation title Sunny Dancer, faced pointed questions from journalists about American democracy and healthcare systems. ...or:
This year, however, politics threatens to overwhelm the festival itself. In press conference after press conference, talent has found itself fielding questions from journalists less about ...This is what the coverage leaves out. For the first time in recent memory, some movie actors and others in the industry actually want to "shut up and sing." This is probably because they're tired of being constantly pilloried by the masses and seeing their projects fail, but I don't much care about the reason. It isn't generally true - not yet, anyway - but a lot of actors have apparently learned to just not do it. These are the people who are among the the most stupid and vain people on earth, and even they are starting to figure it out. But as a group, they are still much smarter and much less vain - and somehow, less ideological - than journalists. The journalists are the ones putting Current Moment Politics front-and-center at every Berlinale event. Plenty of movie people are, too, of course - there are still loads of retarded cretins on the industry side of things - but the journalists are the ones forcing the issue at every opportunity, peppering the industry people with irrelevant political questions and then berating them if they choose not to answer or don't answer will full-throated support for the journalist's position. For all the excesses of Hollywood's political insanity and stupidity, they have nothing on journalism. Even the director of the festival eventually had to an issue a statement in an attempt to make the point that blasting actors and directors with political questions and then getting enraged when they decline to answer is not evidence of a failure of "free speech" and is wildly inappropriate:
In a statement, Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle noted that "people have called for free speech at the Berlinale. Free speech is happening at the Berlinale. But increasingly, filmmakers are expected to answer any question put to them. They are criticized if they do not answer. They are criticized if they answer and we do not like what they say. They are criticized if they cannot compress complex thoughts into a brief sound bite when a microphone is placed in front of them when they thought they were speaking about something else."Like The Hollywood Reporter, she didn't have the backbone to call out the journalists directly, but they are the ones doing these aggressive political interrogations at what is supposed to be an industrial convention. As you might expect at a film festival, there are plenty of people screaming their left-wing politics - but to find the highest concentration of bad actors, you need to look not at the stage, but at the press pool.

They were clearly hoping for more dirt like they got from those douchecans at the Olympics. And entertainment personalities are almost always eager to help out, as we've seen over and over at all these "lets-suck-each-others-dicks" awards shows.
Neil Patrick Harris is at least American. I can see why they would want some slime from him.
But Michelle Yeoh? She has no connection to America other than living here for a few years in the 1990s when she was making Hollywood action movies.

But everyone knows, including your spouse, what you gotta do. “Extra duties”. You will get involved in those things, it just comes with the territory. A deployed family support group network, that kind of thing.

She's not a fan of communist China. Her movies have been banned there. She's outspoken in favor of Malaysia in the various China-Malaysia conflicts, and was a supporter of pre-handover Hong Kong.

Modern Western Civilization doesn't need actors, at best they are a non-essential luxury. Plumbers however, they are probably the most important builders of civilization in the world.
Clean water and indoor plumbing means that humanity at least has a chance at building liberty and a prosperous society, because the population stays healthy enough to build wealth. When you are lucky to live past 40 before dying of cholera or dysentery from drinking contaminated water, you have little incentive to build a lasting civilization.
Posted by: IllTemperedCur at February 18, 2026 11:22 AM (kTyBw)
This is where the true value of AI enters. Sure, economic pressure from low ratings and low attendance is a nice counterweight to rampant political self-clowning that nobody GAF about. Add in the potential to be completely displaced by an AI that nobody has any affinity or loyalty to, and that has to have them absolutely terrified for the prospect of their charmed lives.

JD Vance was one of those Republicans. IMO there was very good reasons to doubt Trump based on his past statements and associations.
But the masks came off after he established his conservative conversion after he was elected. The fake conservatives remained TDS NeverTrumpers and people like Vance, Rubio, Cruz and DeSantis joined the MAGA movement.

The thing I've observed about them is a complete abandonment of perspective: the art is everything.
That's how committed they are to their work. Outside of that, I think people can be really good at their chosen job or profession, without thinking that their job is everything. This is a good gig, and I'm good at it, but if I couldn't do this, I'd do something else.
Show folk aren't like that at all. Which is why it's so hard for normies to relate to them when they are talking unscripted to the public for movie promos and the like.
It must be incredibly liberating to entertainers to step away from talking about politics, especially if they truly believe their art is everything.

I'm hoping that the AI bubble will last long enough to kick start the small.modular nuke industry, and leave us with GW of excess power that we can use to actually make shit over the next 20 years.
I agree, which is why I've chosen not to invest in it right now. As with most hype cycles, there is peak frothiness (now) followed by a collapse, and a longer, slow recovery by those who have a real use case. Combine that with the fact that AI is making great leaps in capability, and it will, I think, be immensely valuable, but not in the next 1-2 years.

Virtue signaling ultimately requires surrendering such quaint notions of citizenship or being “provincial”. Along with everything else, including self-preservation. You might as well get a Lobotomy while you’re at it.
It’s the reason progressives often have a rather schizophrenic relationship with reality. They get all exercised about say, Methane levels on Ganymede, but don’t take care of their immediate family. It’s an inversion of what’s important.
Fine-tuning the weather 100 years from now - that’s critical! Ensuring raw sewage isn’t being pumped into the Potomic? Not My Department. Not Important, whatever. My Heart’s In The Right Place. Fuck Whitey! Etc.

The inertia against making durable changes when bad faith and institutional collapse prevail, in a context of general social degradation, is enormous.
In CA it took multiple referenda and other struggles to end affirmative action (or "bilingual education"), and they didn't end. The mindset of the racist-totalitarians is so alien, anti-American, and so bound up with intellectual mediocrity and self-dealing that ..... well, good luck.

Entertainment journalists deal in gossip, some much more than others, and as such they have been the “mean girls” of woke gatekeeping. For example, Taylor Swift was apolitical for many years. It became a thing to confront her, to demand that she pick a side - as a successful woman it was her duty to speak out on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. They made sh$t up about her being secretly a nazi princess, the dream girl for the most bigoted out there. It was insane.
Yes, entertainers willingly engage in politics to enhance their image among their peers , but the ones who want to stay out of it are hounded and harassed relentlessly. And the army of AWFLs demands it, too.

An illegal alien attacked a woman walking on a Florida beach, held her under the water until he mistakenly believed he had drowned her, then threw away her phone and went to chill out by smoking weed and drinking vodka.
When police finally caught up with him, the foreign criminal did not express any remorse for his attempted murder. The woman survived, and, in fact, contacted authorities herself, but the man still believed he had murdered his victim at the time the sheriff’s office identified him.

Speaking of AI, I watched an interesting youtube vid last night by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. A prolific vid creator, he was approached by a sales guy for an AI content maker, and offered a free "AI enhanced" thumbnail for a then-new video, so he ran both his thumbnail and the AI version concurrently, and Youtube, for their own reasons tracked hits and watches for both versions of the same vid, both vids having the exact same content. By Yotube's metrics, the AI thumb drew more watches, but it also drew a huge number of negative comments from Ian's loyal fans, mostly along the lines of: "You have a real brand going there, Ian. AI? Don't go there." He's taken that to heart, and won't.

Possibly the worst, most transparent kabuki act (the "negotiations") in human history. Yet both sides have their reasons to don the costumes and make-up and take the stage. The turbans are in very bad shape and have no real escape if US policy (and belated cooperative "ally" behavior) don't change.

Context to note is that sewage issues, especially for south county beaches like Imperial, arising from Tijuana River effluent problems, go back decades. There have been previous crises, and World Bank (US $) aid to build Mexican waste management infrastructure. The recent event was apparently the result of a specific action taken during rehab or repair of a key hub.
Zeldin was here several months ago, but I don't think he issued a clarifying or significant statement on that matter (he met with Mexican counterparts). But I might have missed it.
In any case, I don't think the SEALs (BUDS) are still up in Oceanside for their water work. Back to homo (Coronado).

Anything DEI is non-serious. You're either picking the best person for the job or you aren't. The people pushing DEI think everything is a soft skill, with no real world consequences, so it really doesn't matter if you put a clown in that slot. They are disastrously wrong.

I looked up the words of the quote of his that they added on his presidential library/Brutalist monstrosity. It is of course very socialist. But the lines going horizontal on the bottom and top of the words mean no one driving fast down the highway will be able to read it easily. The capitol I, T, H etc. all look the same.

This is one area that is going to get interesting. Pharma will HAVE to raise the cost of drugs for foreign nations but, these nations negotiated these incredible favorable price for their NHS by threatening to violate the patents on drugs if they didn't get them.

Elizabeth Stanley, Countess of Derby (c. 1759 – 23 April 1829), known as Elizabeth Farren, was an Irish actress of the late 18th century. She was born in Cork in 1759 to George Farren, a surgeon. His drinking habits brought on early death and his widow returned to Liverpool. Her mother went on the stage to support herself and her children. Elizabeth first appeared on the London stage in 1777

Her coiffure is by Weedwacker, her barely-glimpsed shoe is by Dorothy Gale of Kansas, and she stands proudly before a studio background shade by Acme.

Sir Thomas Lawrence British
1790
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628
The Irish actress Elizabeth Farren made her London debut in 1777 and soon became one of the most popular comic performers of the day.
Lawrence's "painting displeased the sitter, who asked the twenty-one-year-old artist to alter the depiction of her unfashionably slender figure." That explains the "sheen of satin and the plushness of fur."
But what had been attached to the gown or robe? It appears to be beaver carcass with bows.
Thank you, but I would pass hanging today's selection.

In fairness, I've never seen a capybara. But on a golf course in New Orleans I saw some dude hit a nutria with his golf ball. The nutria picked up the ball, walked over and shoved it up the dude's ass, then turned and waddled back to the bayou.

There is a dearth of films to choose from these days. In the 80s and 90s, I bet I averaged 30 visits a year to various theaters. Every year or two you could count on a film by Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, Kurt Russel, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a half dozen other "regulars".

Just a fur cape with silk lining, inside out. She is also holding a "muff" which is a fur tube women used to carry around like a dead cat and stick their hands in.
This is mostly a display of wealth, but notice that the painter is doing a display of skill -- this was very common in paintings of the era and I wish I knew more about it but the best I can do is tell you what I have observed. There are a lot of paintings of different fabrics, often ball gowns or household things like draperies, where the painter shows the shimmering and folds to make them look very realistic. I think it is an extension of artists loving to paint clouds, or trees, or other complex textures to develop skill, but with rich ladies they get paid better.

It's very pretty, I just wish he'd moved her a few inches up! If that's the full painting, and not cut off, the hem of her dress is too close to the bottom, and there's too much sky on top.

The Morning Report — 2/18/26
Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invested months preparing for her highest-profile overseas trip, but when she arrived at the Munich Security Conference, the progressive lawmaker fumbled through basic foreign policy questions and is now faulting conservatives for the backlash. . . Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf told The Hill that Ocasio-Cortez is “not ready for prime time on the international stage.” “It was a beauty pageant to show that she had some chops about international issues, and she showed a complete lack of chops about international issues,” Sheinkopf said. Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald offered perhaps the sharpest critique. “Whoever convinced AOC that she had successfully completed her tutoring and was now ready to give book reports about foreign policy in public really should look for another line of work,” Greenwald said in a post on X.Supposedly she is contemplating a run at the Democrat presidential nomination in 2028? While yes she's a blithering idiot, if she does indeed land at the top of the ticket or even in the Veep slot, her idiocy and insane worldview are in complete alignment with millions of voters that constitute the base and overwhelming majority of the Democrat Party. And having udders and being latina will only help to seal the deal. Now if only her redheaded pasty husband would turn tranny and/or come out of the closet and convert to Islam, she'd be a shoe-in, nein?
In other unsurprising news we have the completely corrupt judiciary shoving excrememnt down our throats and demanding we ask for seconds.
An Obama-appointed federal judge has once again ruled in favor of suspected gang member and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia, giving him a lifeline he doesn't deserve.

And speaking of dog-eaters and dog shit, if only the world could eradicate Islam.
Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is the left’s outrage du jour. The rage mob swung into action after Fine wrote: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” Yeah, that was it. He didn’t say “Kill them all” or even “Deport them all.” He didn’t recommend any action at all. He was actually responding to an X post from far-left, pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani. In response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Kiswani wrote: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”
Animal rights groups have expressed outrage over Morocco’s alleged killing of millions of stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to a recent report. Organizations such as the International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) and PETA have criticized Moroccan officials for culling the population of roughly three million stray dogs, according to the Daily Mail. The animal rights organizations have reportedly “released images and testimony” claiming that Moroccan officials are resorting to “using harsh methods” such as “clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies,” according to the outlet.But Jews and Nigerians and other Christians being slaughtered and crickets Be nice to see PETA come to the defense of Randy Fine. Be nice if I won Powerball every week for the next 10 years or could go back in time and have a threesome with Raquel Welch and Ann Margret. Well at least those latter two are realistic unlike my first sentence. Have a great day.

So Pajeet gets his diploma from the mill and heads to the US dragging along his wife. He gets a job, she gets a job. They then embark on making lots of anchor babies. Each kid is going to cost the tax payers at a bare minimum a quarter million dollars. She can't raise them herself and work so she brings in her parents and his parents. They get a loan to buy a large enough place to live, they write off everything on their taxes, their parents get on various public assistance programs or we pay them to watch the kids. Pajeet eventually gets promoted to hiring manager status and brings in his whole village. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
It takes a lot of concierge services by the government to coördinate all of the visas, the entitlements, the legal training to exploit the system, and to then trade the new residency into illegal votes for the Party Machine.

Or to simply criticize Trump's with the well-worn establishment talking points. But she's come of age in the land if The Daily Show, so she thinks making underinformed smartass remarks about cowboys is the way.

Naomi Homs Cabezas, a Spanish national living in Bogota, NJ, was charged with manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with intent to distribute heroin/cocaine on January 16, 2026, out of Hackensack NJ and is now facing DEPORTATION!
She was also charged with additional traffic offenses cited in Paterson, NJ, shortly after the Jan. 16 incident.
Imagine if the Leftists had their way, who were calling for Ms. Cabezas to be FREED back onto our STREETS as recently as YESTERDAY!
Thank Goodness JUSTICE will prevail and Ms. Cabezas will be DEPORTED and hopefully in PRISON. May God bless her son, who she clearly does not care very much about and the State may very well have to care for because of her alleged CRIMES.

A couple months ago there was a long video about foreign election interference. I can't locate it now, but purported to link outfits like Dominion with foreign owned companies who supply software to run (tabulate) elections. Maduro's Venezuela figured prominently and the cartels had a hand in it too.
I'm betting that Maduro's capture had as much to do with all that as it did with his cartel connections.
As usual, this was a "connect the dots" sort of thing so the typical disclaimers apply.

"parole violations". Its a major reason why we keep the war on drugs. Possession is drop dead simple to prove in court.
If a LEO pulls over a known thief with a back seat filled with stolen car radios and a bag of drugs, everyone forgets about the car radios because a defense attorney could make an argument that Tyrone is a well respected repairman on his way to teach a class on car radio repair.
The drugs, like a "parole violation" doesn't require any work.

Nine people have been arrested in France following an investigation into the murder of a far-right nationalist student by suspected militants from the far-left.
Those detained include a parliamentary assistant for a deputy from the radical left France Unbowed (LFI) party.
Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student, died in hospital on Saturday – two days after being beaten and kicked about the head by a gang of masked young men in Lyon.

They owe this man $1 billion for all the pain and suffering from persecution and wildly unusual and exceptionally cruel treatment.
so what happens if immigrations authorities detain him again? Oops, shot in the back while escaping from an ICE raid - sucks to be him, or move him to Texas facility and ignore the courts again?
not a single ICE agent has faced any charges or consequences for breaking just about every law you can think of. So this ruling means nothing.
Wow it's been a year with this guy already. I feel so bad for him and his family.
I really hope he is able to parlay this experience into some sort of long term finically security for him and his family. The story is honestly insane. Book or movie rights will likely be worth a lot of money. I would imagine a sort of crowdfunding campaign to help him would generate a lot as well. Its the only thing good I can see coming out of this horrific experience

One change I've noticed over the last 20 years - it used to be an expectation that a politician could speak to the issues of the day off the cuff.
Yes they might give some socialist drivel or just repeating NYT talking points BUT this was the minimum expectation.
Now though? Pols like Harris can't express her own supposed views on politics on their own. And people on the left accept this.
I suspect this might be a Kremlin affect. Namely, the later Soviets didn't want one guy that could individually control the whole movement like Stalin did, and the modern left prefers to be led by a large group of oligarchs where no one individual is in complete control.

The point of government is to loot the taxpayers not whatever nominal services the government is supposed to be providing.
And I'll give you an example. A town near mine was facing a budget crises. The state had been giving them "emergency COVID funds" and eventually stopped. The town had used those funds to hire permanent bureaucrats. The town then offered the voters a choice, a massive tax increase or firiing a significant portion of the town's teachers.
People looked at the budget and found the new bureaucrats, for example a "sustainability engineer". Couldn't we cut those positions first? And the answer of course was...no. And people pointed out that this level of tax increase would be beyond the ability of people to pay...the response from the compassionate left? Then sell and move.
The voters did vote the tax increase down...amazingly since I live in a blue area BUT they voted all the same elected officials back in. Genius!

There is a music video he is in by a musician named Sia.
In it LaBeauf and a 12 year old girl are in a cage wearing skin tight flesh colored bodysuits. And...LaBeauf wrestles with the girl.
Now, I believe the claimed idea of the video is some sort of self struggle because obviously a pre-teen girl imagines her problems in life as wrestling a 30ish year old male celebrity.
The more obvious way to view the video is an in your face "yeah we molest young actors/actresses what are you going to do about it?"

Supporters of the SAVE Act may argue that voters can use a passport to register, but this is an insufficient option. Only about half of all U.S. citizens have a passport, and obtaining one to satisfy the SAVE Act could be costly and time-consuming.
Why do they need a passport?

(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.

So it is rayciss and discriminatory to demand a valid ID to vote. But it is ok to demand one to get into a government building? Or fly. Or take out a loan. Or drive. Or buy a gun. Or buy alcohol. Or buy cold medicine. Or on and on and on...
Really?

I'm old enough to remember when Jessie Jackson had to admit he had a baby with one of his staffers, and then resigned. For, like, 2.5 days! He took the weekend off, then un-resigned, got right back into the grift.

"Federal, OBAMA Hack-in-Black, rules Kilmar Abrego Garcia can’t be re-detained by immigration authorities"
Such a family man, such a family woman. He terrorized his now "wife" so she'd marry him when he was being held in custody. She places her two other special needs children, at least one reported to have autism, with that man and has another kid with him. And that child also has also been reported to have autism & hearing problems.
Case after case, an undocumented 'parent' on hold for deportation, and often one or more special needs children within the alleged 'family' circle.
Marrying for refuge is not unusual at all in the USA, and it's among all 'classes.' Marrying a U.S. citizen while an asylum case is pending can allow an applicant to apply for a green card.
Further, the (alleged) children of the undocumented who were (allegedly) born in the USA years ago are, or will be, petitioning for lawful permanent residence for their parents.
This is our country now. Probably only a matter of time until the Left & Chamber of Commerce introduces digital nomad visas for the USA.

Daily Tech News 18 February 2026
Top Story
- Had an instructive argument with Grok today.
Someone asked if a video was AI, and Grok said it indeed appeared to be fake. It was overlaid on a web page from The Hill and the article had no reference to the person in the video and indeed no video.
Except the video was right there.
Yet Grok swore blind that it didn't exist.
Why?
Because the video is copy protected and can only be viewed in a browser. Grok literally could not see it. And the reason the copy on Twitter was overlaid on a static web page is that the person who posted it took a screen recording to capture the video.
- Meanwhile the third derivative of memory prices appears to be leveling off. (Tom's Hardware)
Actually, more than that: In Germany prices have declined. Slightly. From five times what they were just months ago to, in some cases, as little as four times.
So there's that.
Tech News
- In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't distinguish between signals sent through copper wires, a banana, or wet mud. (Tom's Hardware)
Though to be fair one of the tracks was Nirvana and the wet mud improved the fidelity.
- Apple plans to release an AI pendant because they're not tired of losing money. (WCCFTech)
They do have plenty of money to lose, but still... Why?
- There's a precise technical term for the trend of AI to turn everything into slop: Semantic ablation. (The Register)
For all its impressive tricks, AI is a feed-forward pattern matching network.
Which is also how the human brain works when you're not paying attention. So it's not useless, particularly when you shove the sum total of human knowledge into it except for copy-protected videos.
But since engineers have shoved the sum total of human knowledge into it, they had to smooth out the bumps to make it fit. It always tends toward the middle, by design. The aim is to be acceptable, rather than great, and never to offend anybody, which is a perfect fit for corporate customers.
- Discord announced mandatory age checks, pushed by fascist dictatorships like Britain. It did this while promising that ID documents would be secure and would be deleted after they were verified... Immediately after it suffered a major data breach where it admitted to 70,000 such documents being stolen and the hackers claimed many more.
The users revolted and fled, many of them to rival TeamSpeak. (PCGamer)
TeamSpeak has now run out of servers.

So there's that.
Steve at Hardware Unboxed tested some 'KingBank' branded DDR5 RAM (CL 40) that was ultimately made by CXMT out of China.
On a 9800X3D system the results were negligible for most games competing against faster RAM from Crucial and Kingston.
The prices, in Australia at least, were slightly cheaper but he says not to expect it to stay that way now that everybody is looking to get Chinese RAM for that very reason.

Last month there was a shocking fatal shooting of an 18 year old employee at a Sonics in our community at around 8:30 in the morning. We actually were caught up in the police response for it, as there was a lockdown of two nearby schools and a major thoroughfare where the Sonics was located.
Anyhow, just yesterday they announced the arrest of the suspect.
Intercepted at the Bali airport as he stepped off the plane on a temporary passport from the US.
Whatever was going on it involved the FBI, State Department, Interpol and who knows who else.
And the victim?
He was the targeted victim, and had been shot previously at another restaurant in another nearby small town much earlier. Somebody wanted this kid dead, and had the know-how to involve international travel as well.

Living within 690 feet of a major cellular tower just might cause your high-dollar digital/communicating heat pump system to transmit corrupted data along it's wires between units and the thermostat.
Let's see if the shielded twisted pairs being installed tomorrow resolve the issue of random brain-farts within the system.
And if the 5G coax filter arriving today helps to resolve the pixilation that crops up occasionally on the TV. From the same said tower.

Sometime in the 1990s maybe a couple guys from Japan rented a van in the US, and armed with phonebooks made a roadtrip around the country hitting all the longtime Radio and TV repair shops still in business and cleaned out as many of the desirable audio vacuum tubes, which can garner a stupid money. There was one in my hometown up until the 2000s and he still had quite a bit of swag, though none of the old school audio output tubes.

Wayde Preston was pretty good in it.
He's in one of my favorite Maverick episodes; "The Saga of Waco Williams" where he plays Waco, who pretty much defeating the town boss (played by the ubiquitous R.G. Armstrong), while killing his son, and in the end impresses the man so much he encourages Waco to marry his daughter (played by a very young and attractive Louise Fletcher) because "I've never seen a man I thought was good enough for my daughter until you".
I'm pretty sure Wayde got the part in Colt 45 because of that one episode, as it's a highly-rated (8.8 on imdb) and the audience at the time loved it.

Police emphasized that Baker, despite being linked to prior incidents, was a hard-working young man.
“He was working two jobs, trying to make a living. That’s honorable,” Wright said. “This was a tragic situation, and our main focus is bringing closure to the family and the community.”
At another shooting at a Marcos, house was burgalrized, then shot & killed at the Sonic.
He was working, no doubt, but I see a kid dealing on the side, something went down and drugs or money went missing, they're looking for his money or drugs in the house, and then shot him for not paying up.
I could be wrong, but that fits the facts.

I think I saw it a couple of years back. Heroes & Icons used to have their "Good Guys at Sunrise" block starting at four am, Colt .45 and Maverick included with Cheyenne, Wanted Dead or Alive, Have Gun -- Will Travel, Rawhide, and High Chaparral.
Hartland had their "Gunfighters" series of standing TV Western character figurines, and Preston's Colt character was one of them, along with Paladin, Bret Maverick, Bat Masterson, and others. Looking on eBay, I see there were Johnny Yuma of The Rebel and Lucas McCain of The Rifleman. I never saw or had those!

They show only series on this WEST streaming channel through Dish.
Have Gun Will Travel is on it but they play it at like 2 in the morning, followed up by The Californians at 3 (not impressed by that one), thenColt .45 at 4, and The Texan (with Rory Calhoun) at 5.
I'd like to see more of Paladin as it's one of the shows I have seen very little of and I like Richard Boone's work, but I'm not getting up at 2 a.m. to do it.

Be safe out there. I am absolutely confident you will be a good role model for the other drivers.
One of my memories of driving was a late early release. The roads were covered in rain that froze to a glaze of ice. Took me an additional hour. And I called in a personal favor to get the roads I needed to travel salted.
I paused before going down a hill with a deep gully on either side of the road at the bottom. The salt truck was on the way, fifteen minutes out.
The bus was very quiet as I went down in 1st gear with the foot very lightly on the brake. Made it, but it could have gone so wrong.

Ooof. I've found in situations like that you're pretty much on your own. Dispatch isn't there and can't see or feel the conditions. I'm waiting for the day I advise them of terrible road conditions and ask what they advise, to which the response is likely: "Proceed carefully if you feel you can do so" (which puts it back on me) and I then hit them with the phrase that should make Legal's sphincter pucker: "Can you send that advise to me in an email?"
And if the kids are voluntarily being that quiet, they instinctively know they're all in a dangerous situation. Glad it went well for you. Good call on first gear and a feather touch on the brake.

Delaware County (Delco), PA, approved a 19% property tax hike for 2026, marking the second consecutive year of double-digit increases after a 23% raise in 2025. These hikes, totaling over 40% in just two years, are driven by the depletion of federal COVID-19 relief funds, a structural budget deficit, and rising costs.

5 years ago today, we lost a one-of-a kind legend.
Rush explains the Trump phenomenon (Oct 2018 )
Take in the first 20 seconds of this video especially. Two legends of conservativism - both sorely missed.
In memory of Rush Limbaugh on the anniversary of his passing
— Dangerous Thoughts (@DangerousThinkg) February 17, 2026
Rush Limbaugh at TPUSA's First Annual Winter Gala, which took place at Mar-A-Lago, December 20, 2018
Rush spoke with no notes, no teleprompter
Still cannot believe he has been gone for 5 years pic.twitter.com/V1vDZHK1AV
Let's also revisit this spectacularly titled opinion article from Erick Erickson which was published the day after Rush passed away. Talent Returned To God
My mother insisted that my dad and I take a college road trip together when I was in 11th grade. I got to drive. My dad got to control the radio. We opted for backroads and scenery instead of speed and the interstate. Driving through rural Alabama on the way to my eventual alma mater, Mercer University, in Macon, Georgia, my dad went in search of radio legend Paul Harvey. Instead, he stumbled upon a voice claiming to have talent on loan from God. My dad and I may not have had a super close relationship at the time, but together we found Rush Limbaugh and could connect with each other through listening to Rush. Years later, I helped start the website RedState and randomly sent a note through the comment line at Rush's website. I not only got back a reply, but it was from Rush himself. I could not believe he knew who I was. Thus began a correspondence, which led to a friendship, which led to a mentorship. The first time I ever remember my dad telling me he was proud of me was the day Rush Limbaugh referred to me on air as his friend. My dad nearly ran off the road and immediately called me with fatherly pride. After years of running RedState and being on television, my parents finally decided I would be okay in my career choices after Rush designated me one of his guest hosts.Definitely check out the whole thing.
At just 40 feet tall, the Newby-McMahon Building in Wichita Falls isn’t very impressive, even when compared to regular-sized buildings, let alone skyscrapers. And yet it was supposed to be one of the most imposing skyscrapers of its time when it was designed in the early 1900s. The nickname ‘World’s Littlest Skyscraper’ is a dubious title to have, but the Newby-McMahon Building is indeed dwarfed by every skyscraper in the world. It isn’t remotely worthy of being called a skyscraper, as it’s dwarfed by several normal buildings in Wichita Falls, but the story of how it came to be is truly fascinating. The origins of the Newby-McMahon Building can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the North Texas city of Wichita Falls became the center of a regional oil boom. The discovery of black gold in nearby Burkburnett turned hundreds of locals into millionaires, as mineral rights were negotiated virtually everywhere, from street corners to temporary tents. Philadelphia oil man J.D.D. McMahon was the first to notice the city’s dire need for office space and quickly proposed a solution – building an imposing skyscraper right next to the original Newby Building, built by Augustus Newby in 1906. His blueprints caught the eye of several investors, and he was able to raise about $200,000 (about $6.8 million in today’s money). McMahon promised a multistory office building that would be built just across the street from the St. James Hotel, but what he failed to mention was that it wouldn’t go up very much. Exctatic investors didn’t notice that the building’s scale was measured in inches rather than feet, and, by the time they realized they had been scammed, it was too late.Check out the whole thing. Video segment at the link.

RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact. John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May. John had a son while in his 60s.That's a pretty random but interesting tidbit! But wait - there's more! Check out this very Horde-worthy comment to the post
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96. So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
Correction: Steven Tyler was John Tyler's father. 'Dream On' was almost our national anthem. And 'Love in an Elevator' was written by Otis Redding, two years after he founded the Otis Elevator Company. Look it up.

Had a good day today. Got a haircut for the first time since pre-COVID; cut off a good ten inches of hair. I got tired of the ponytail. Then I went to a local diner/ice cream place for lunch. On your birthday (with proof, LOL!), you get a free sundae (pistachio with hot fudge). That was desert. They even sang 'Happy Birthday'. Not a bad day for a big day, a day I never thought I'd ever see, my 70th.

HE WENT OFF ON IT. He (correctly) pointed out the FIRST duty of government was public safety. Therefore funding for police and fire departments should be solved FIRST, and then everything else figured out afterwards. The younger me (this was during the middle '90s) really appreciated this ranking of government priorities. Even conservatives need to be reminded that these kind of proposals are gimmicks--other leftist bullshit has already been approved and yet we're asking taxpayers the equivalent of "Would you all pay more sales tax if we kept you...safe?".

The benefit to podcasts is that a lot of them (not all by a long chalk) don't do commercials, or if they do they are at the beginning and end - and I download them to listen while driving so I can pick up and drag the USB into the house.
The No Agenda Show (Adam Curry) for example does no commercials, but they do spend a good amount of time thanking the donors who give more than $50

Why? at long last we get to see how far politico's will go to protect one of their own.
Why haven't all the doc's been released? if they were, consider well both Clinton's would know precisely what not to recall -- which is precisely why both want it televised, which makes it that much more difficult to parallel construct a conviction of implications and perjury upon them... They're cooked, and so is Brennan and his dancing undead.
All things open to question are precisely why Epstein chose to prominently display a life sized portrait of Bill Clinton in a blue dress pointing an accusing finger at the viewer.
"I am not a great man, I am a failure – and you have made me one." -- Clinton'01
If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people, he should resign. -- Clinton'98
It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. Clinton'98
“the people in charge are lying to the public and telling them not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes.” Clinton 01/26/26
"We'll actually have to work very hard to kill as many people in the 21st century. What's the difference? This time, you think the victim could be you," Clinton'07

1. shilling for Apple. 2. doing the ads. I know he was contracted to do so, but it was always after a huge block of ads anyway. 3. Talking about sports. 4. having a kid caller. It was always about his books and how great they are. Which they might have been, I don't know.
That said, when he passed, I turned off the radio and seldom have had it on since. There's no purpose, no point. Oldies are fine, they are part of a better world. But no news comes from that world.

MisHum can have the frozen tundra all to himself for a while. Ice fishing! Sturgeon spearing! Snow shoveling and scraping ice off the windshield! We're out here for the first time in a few years, and intend to relax and unwind. It's been kind of a hard winter.
I like the Southwest. The scenery is gorgeous, the weather at this time of year is great, and people are generally decent. Prices stink ($200+ for a hotel room!?!?!!) but I'll do it to make the missus happy.

Why did Bernard Nussbaum notify ctHillary *FIRST* upon notification of Vince Foster's body being found.
Yup. This is where the fun begins.
Was Benghazi a Youtube Video, did she approve Susan Rice's statements to that effect. Didn't she watch her own people die on live broadcast without calling in air support.
What was is she is on record of that "What difference does it make, they're Dead!"
Just like Bill telling the parents of BlackHawk Down in the WH -- "It's their own fault that they were dead"
The fact is, Les Aspen went out of his way to deny the armored support that the crew requested, refused to acknowledge that the expected warlords were speaking arabic rather than Somali -- because it was OBL's organization and trial ballon.
That Bill simply couldn't bring himself to order the kill shot on OBL because he couldn't find any reason to tear his attention away from the super bowl.

Ok, I won't wade into the "is that how she always sounds?" discussion because I LOVE everything that Fleetwood Mac did when Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie joined the band. That was amazing material, and they earned eternal respect for that.
What I WILL provide is this update on Stevie's live solo shows.
If your girlfriend or wife wants to go, take her. But just know going in that her range has deteriorated, and her back-up singers now hit the high notes for her. And her band is "professionally generic". What I mean by that is that they play all of the right notes, but their "tone" is off...often. They "overdrive" sections of songs that should sound acoustic...a lot.
Lindsey Buckingham didn't do that. Because he is an amazing guitarist that knows how to do stuff that sounds over-driven and he also knows how to play clean.
But Stevie apparently *hates* Lindsey, because of all of the 100 or more (not kidding here) visuals that show up behind her in her concert, there were a dozen of Tom Petty, a half dozen of Christine McVie, a half dozen of Joe Walsh...and ONE of Lindsey.

Personally, I hate American Graffiti with the heat of a thousand suns. It's George Lucas' big "fuck you" to Modesto, where he grew up. The epilogue has everyone either dying horribly, going to Canada (almost certainly to avoid the draft), and Opie gets his dreams of leaving Modesto dashed when Shirley latches onto him like a blood-sucking tropical leech and begs him to stay.

It's amazing how strongly people feel about her even today- especially the ones who hate her. I mentioned a year or two ago saying her delivery of that speech at the convention was absolutely perfect. I have rarely, if ever seen one done as well.
All of a sudden guys here came out of the woodwork, foaming at the mouth saying she was stupid and knew nothing and was completely unprepared and was the reason Obama won (literally, it was fucking crazy.)
I had seen women respond that strongly but this was the first time I had seen dudes react that way. I am wondering if gay.

Republican voters in 2008 mostly figured it was McCain's turrrrn. That's how they thought at the time. Most of them were, well... old. This was before Trump and Vance.

Maine? Don't think so. Nevada has legalized prostitution by county option. Heavily regulated, only in licensed locations, girls licenced, medical checkups once a month, etc.
Fun fact: Prostitution is outlawed in Clark County (Las Vegas). That's the town with probably the highest ratio of hookers per square mile of anywhere in the US.

There are secret levels above Top Secret and Mace doesn't have clearance. Nor does anybody else.
If Epstein was about pedos or, more accurately, Lolitas (theme of the night) he would have shop in Hawaii where the age consent was like 14 at the time.
Epstein had his own little hotel Continental going on.
Powerful people who could have people killed with the wave of a hand could kick back, take it easy, talk business, move some money around for a small handling fee, and maybe have some nubiles frollick.

As of late 2023,
Maine does not fully legalize or regulate prostitution, but it has partially decriminalized it. Specifically, Maine law now prohibits the purchase of sexual services, but it does not criminalize those who sell or engage in sex work, making it the first state to adopt this approach.

Bulgar, I say this as a friend, but I have started avoiding reading your comments.
Look we all have pet peeves. Issues we have strong feeling about. Often people discuss them here. However, on a handful of subjects, man, it feels like it is less a discussion with you and more an exercise in denial and contradiction. It is less a free flow or exchange of ideas and more rote ceremonial denial.
We get it: you don't like Catholicism. You don't like Fantasy literature. You see no value in these things. Your opinion has been fucking logged.
This gets tedious. It kind of annoys people. Yes, we Catholics (of which I am a very bad example) are about to embark on one of our biggest rituals of self denial and trying to become closer to God. The fact that you find this annoying kind of pisses me the fuck off. If that is what you are looking for, congratufuckinglations.
So I will go back to ignoring your comments.

Romney was weak.
BUT Obama was far worse than Carter in every way.
Not really surprising that he won the first go around as he was objectively popular, three tours of (R) tires the LIV, but, his first tour was a total shit show. Not average. Not meh. Total shit show.
And his reelection had verifiable massive vote/election fraud going on. Philly alone had multiple precincts with over 100% registered voter turnout, 100% Obama, and/or 0% Romney (with stray third party votes). From a quality assurance perspective this is just that guy writing down whatever vote totals for the precinct with whatever the hell they feel like.

I had just gotten there and was about to say something to her, but this guy came out of the store and told her what-for about it. Certainly it went over her head and out the other window-- she looked completely zoned out on gawd-only knows what. Can't fix stupid.

Marlo replies "You want it to be one way."
SG: "What?"
Marlo: "You want it to be one way."
SG: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Marlo: "You want it to be one way."
SG: "Stop saying that!"
Marlo: "But it's the other way."
Marlo then jumps in his Escalade and speeds off, and in a later episode, has the security guard murdered for daring to mouth off to him that day.
This is how the American political system works and the Republican Marlos are no different than the Democrat ones.

Occasionally I'll get a harley with back tires so bald they make picard look like hair metal. Some have long fenders in the back and the owners say shit I didn't notice. I say you need to use the old knowledge, bend the fuck over and look at it once in a while. I had another one that had no tread left and the dude was going on a short road trip. He says its just a short trip. I said you're right, shorter than you think.

Anyway, stoned-chick's shitty tire was driver's side *front* and showing metal! Gotta be pretty out of it to miss that, and of course she WAS out of it, so.... ugh. Prolly spent every nickel she had on drugs, so "couldn't" fix it if she noticed it.

Rush really twisted some panties with his coinage of the femi-Nazi. That touched a nerve with large swaths of America, so many people knew such a person. The precursor to Pink pussy hats, Karen's and now AWFLS.

One thing hit me, after one of today's threads got nooded. It was about the spelling "koran" instead of "quran".
The name of the prophet has gone through many changes. When I was young, he was "Mohammed". Now, it's usually "Muhammed." Of course, they do this only to be pests. Well, back in the day, they did the same changing the then-standard "Mahomet" to "Mohammed". Chesterton would have none of it, and fought his editors. He ended it by writing them "If you insist on 'Mohammed' I am perfectly capable of insisting on 'Mahound'".
GKC won. Ever since reading that, I've tried to use older spellings. (And I won't call the gulf state "Gutter". NFW.)

I, for one, find this to be an improvement. "Safe travels" is now my second favorite valediction, right after, "Have a blessed day," because any phrase that invokes the almighty to look after you has to be the favorite, but a personal concern for a truckers welfare on the road is rather nice.

Antifa-Affiliated Group Stomps a Normal Peaceful Student to Death in Lyon, France
The BBC attempts to gently bury the story under the vague and anodyne headline, "Student death puts French far-left under pressure," as if he died after drinking too much at an antifa party.
The reality? He was a normie who showed up to protect female protesters who call attention to Muslim rape culture. They were protesting a radical Muslim speaker. This group is called "Collective Nemesis." An antifa-affiliated group, Jeune Garde (Young Guard, I think), just beat him to the ground and then delivered full-extension kick to his head after full-extension kick to his head. He died within days of severe brain trauma. "Student death puts French far-left under pressure" That's a take.Student death puts French far-left under pressure France's radical left is under pressure after the killing of a student in Lyon was blamed on "anti-fascist" militants."Blamed"? It's on video.
Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student and nationalist activist, died on Saturday, two days after being beaten up on the street by a group of young men. State prosecutor Thierry Dran told a news conference on Monday afternoon in Lyon that a murder investigation has been opened into the death. He said that Deranque was kicked and punched by "at least six" individuals, and that the autopsy showed fatal damage to his skull and brain. On Thursday afternoon Deranque had given support to a hard-right feminist collective Némésis, which staged a small protest against a left-wing politician's visit to Lyon's Institute of Political Studies (IEP), commonly known as Sciences-Po.You mean a radical Muslim's visit.
Mobile phone video footage taken a few streets away from the protest's location showed three young men being kicked and punched by a larger group. One person - believed to be Quentin - remained lying on the ground. According to Dran, there was an initial confrontation between two groups. A short time later Deranque was one of three nationalist activists who, having failed to get away, were cornered by the opposing group.One group was just some girls who were there to protest the many rapes perpetrated by Muslims. This kid Quentin was there to protect them. I guess he succeeded -- by giving his own life to protect them from antifa.
Ministers from President Macron's centre-right government blamed "far-left" militants for the killing. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said: "Manifestly it was the far-left that was at work ... This was a mob-killing, with blows that the perpetrators probably did not intend to be fatal." According to Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, "it is the far-left that killed him. Of that there is no question."The French government actually called it a lynching -- un lynchage is their word for it. But the BBC won't say that. "Student death." At every point, the BBC minimizes the murder by their antifa allies and deceives the reader into thinking the facts are in doubt and that maybe antifa is just getting a bad rap. And the BBC does not report that after the murder, left-wing French politicians praised the work and the importance of left-wing "protest" groups.
Here is video of the young man in Lyon, France who was beaten to death by Antifa. Quentin, who is now brain dead, was volunteering as security for a conservative women’s group when he was jumped by Antifa, allegedly the Jeune Garde group. https://t.co/yLfycJ0Wxb

The young French Patriot was 23 years old. His name was Quentin. He was part of the Catholic nationalist movement of France and, according to information, also went to the summer camps of the Academia Christiana.

This is the culture they bring. I am thankful I saw much of the UK and a few countries in Europe before this.

I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that he started fucking Sarah Silverman at the same time not because he was particularly attracted to her, but to make sure that reconciliation with his wife and family wasn't on the table.

I don't think we can call it a lynching when you're part of a group that physically attacks another group, and you lose the fight you started. Nothing justifies Quentin's death, but I don't think the word is appropriate.
Have you read the various articles? Q guy wasn't there to be peaceful. His group ran when they squared up and he lost. Most reports are total garbage. I saw the term "islamo-leftists" used unironically!

Per the City's website, the tax rate is 20.309% of assessed value, which will typically be below market value because assessed value is not allowed to grow more than 6% per year without applicable renovations, reconstruction, etc. taking place.
So a 9.5% increase will raise it to ~ 22.24% of assessed value. It was already astoundingly high.

Assuming it's universal and there are no exemptions and no difference in assessments and so every property owner pays 9.5% more than last year without exception, this will raise an additional $3.515 billion, all other things being equal.
That's a lot of money. This year's budget is proposed to be $122.7 billion. The deficit will be around $2 billion per the Comptroller, with next year projected at $10 billion (nobody knows how much Mamdani is going to spend).
So this tax hike will cover this year's new deficit. Maybe.

Probably just my paranoia, but I knew a guy back in the mid 70s who had an illegal(!) Thompson sub. He met a man in his local bar who became " good buddies" over the next TWO years, so he takes him out to let him fire the Chicago Typewriter. The guy is BATF. 30 days in jail, 5 year suspended sentence, loss of all his guns, and $50k fine.

Microsoft AI CEO: Most White-Collar Jobs Will be "Automated by AI" Within Ten Years
I Mean, Within Twelve to Eighteen Months
Does that mean the jobs will be eliminated?
He doesn't say that. He says they'll be "automated by AI." Does that mean workers will be completely replaced, or that one worker can use AI to do the job of five, because so much of the task is being done by AI? I think it means the latter -- but that means that there will be a huge loss of jobs among white collar workers. We live in interesting times, unfortunately.Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says AI will reach "human-level performance" in white-collar work. He predicts most tasks in that field can be automated within the next 12 to 18 months. Several leaders in the AI industry have warned of impending mass job replacement. Microsoft's AI CEO is joining a chorus of executives who say they anticipate widespread job automation driven by artificial intelligence. Mustafa Suleyman, the Microsoft AI chief, said in an interview with the Financial Times that he predicts most, if not every, task in white-collar fields will be automated by AI within the next year or year and a half. "I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks," Suleyman said in the interview that was published Wednesday. "So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person -- most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months." The CEO said the trend is already observable in software engineering, in which employees are using "AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production." "It's a quite different relationship to the technology, and that's happened in the last six months," he said.Scary. I read a book five years ago that seemed pretty fanciful. It made exactly this prediction. It said that people who currently have prestigious, high-paying, "safe" jobs had better diversify into areas where AI is less likely to displace them because anything AI can do, it will do. It keeps on coming:
AI set to make medical scan reports twice as easy to understand for patients by University of Sheffield Artificial intelligence could soon help patients make sense of complex medical scan results, making them far easier to understand without losing clinical accuracy, a major new study by the University of Sheffield suggests. The research found that when radiology reports for X-Rays, CT and MRI scans were rewritten using advanced AI systems such as ChatGPT, patients found them almost twice as easy to understand compared with the original versions. Analysis showed that the reading level dropped from "university level" to one more closely aligned with the comprehension of a school pupil aged 11--13.I don't know if I'm ready to trust AI with anything important. On the twenty questions I've asked it, it was flat-out wrong about half the time. On the other hand: Hollywood is doomed.
We just made a $200,000,000 AI movie in just one day.

One woman wrote 200 books in ONE YEAR using AI, and made 6 figures doing it.
Now, the books aren't great, but they are apparently "good enough" to sate the appetites of the readers.
Interesting twist: AI-generated books are NOT copyrighted, so you can download them, change the author's name, and sell them as your own without penalty.

Also great at software, because almost everything you need to do has already been done by others thousands of time.
But most jobs, even laptop class jobs, are not like that at all.
I think it can replace a lot of programmers (let's be honest, we have been talking about "human language programming" since the 80s. so that should be no surprise that AI can do it.)
I think it will be a powerful tool for lawyers, doctors, and other jobs were great experience and training is required. Also for many of the rote tasks of bookkeeping, etc. I am skeptical beyond that.

The problem with AI is twofold.

The stupid as fuck CEOS who thought AI could replace 90% of their workforce to save them gaboolions turned out to be... get this, wrong
95% of generative AI initiatives fail due to management issues, poor UX, hallucinations, and workflow mismatches
most CEOs had to admit in earnings reports that no revenue boost or cost savings from AI ever materialized
The prediction that AI would replace 90% of jobs it was meant to replace went from 90% to ***checks notes*** 6%.
Fun fact: Im part of a team that laid off an Indian worker who was legit replaced by AI that my boss built from scratch, so I can say the biggest threat here are H1B hindu bindu midwits who never bother to improve or evolve their skills (if they even have any)
Im also in the process of building my own autonomous AI using OpenClaw. What could go wrong?

The AI tech-lords call upon the government to invest heavily (read "take money out your check and spend it") in AI, then after they spend your money withheld from your check on AI, they lay you off from your job.
Wonderful.

Many companies, mostly those that are heavily regulated or have serious security concerns, won't let AI do anything that involves looking at the code or processing it outside the organization. (think: bank, insurance, trading platforms)
Also, because it has seen thing done thousands of times before, its old code, outdated frameworks, yesterday's syntax, wrong scale of architecture, zero security awareness, WAY too much Indian cram code, spaghetti logic that no one can understand, difficulty with recursion, crappy logging discipline.
Because of its unbalanced loading of résumé code - crap put up on github to impress recruiters and as homework for getting an interview, connection strings, things that ought to be in key vaults, magic beans in the code and lack of enterprise features are training data and end up in far too much vibe coding products.
AI is now incorporating decompiled code and AI generated slop as training data. Entropy is setting in and its getting worse each quarter.

So it started giving away the snacks.
Then they convinced it to approve the purchase of a PS5.
And a beta fish.
Another guy said, "I left the money beside the machine so you can pick it up." And it believed him.
Then Anthropic installed a CEO name Seymore Cash to supervise.
So the WSJ folks forged up docs and told the vending machine bot the CEO had been fired and it had to go back to free snacks.

So if AI fills a lot of jobs, people will end up doing other things. Maybe things with hands until the robots take over, maybe after that something else. People need to work, and they will work.
AI will only change what that work is. Just as putting people on the dole -- it did not stop people from working, only now that class works at theft and pimpin and rap and dealin and protests. Those jobs don't pay well, but the dole covers that. This is hard to explain but i made my point.

I still say that news readers are the easiest to replace with AI. They will mispronounce things
When it comes to male news readers, the more good looking they are, the stupider they are. This one guy was on a local SoCal station in the morning back when I actually watched local news. He looked like a male underwear model, but profoundly stupid. He crudely flirted with his married news desk partner on live TV (she was married to the senior prime time news reader and biggest "star" at the station). Couldn't pronounce "Paso Robles" or "San Jose" correctly if he'd had a gun to his head. Used to come in on Friday morning still slurring his words from Thursday partying. It was cringy fun to watch him make a fool of himself.
Lasted about 3 months before they shit-canned him and sent him back to Phoenix.

Male Shibas are only 25 pounds, females about 17. Maybe you needed an Akita Inu? The point of the Shiba size is important- they are designed this way for viciously hunting prey from bushes. They are a crazy amount of dog in a small package, which is what makes Shibas both a blast and very, very hard dogs. My Shiba just brought me 2 chewies to trade for a bite of the protein bar I am eating. He has thrown them on me twice and is now crying as he stares at me. I love him. He is too smart for his own good though. I got in trouble the other day from a fellow Shiba owner in Japan for failing to call Saijo Saijo San. We are all one big cult.

There's at least one science fiction story about that...I think Asimov wrote a story where ONE person out of the entire country is selected to "vote" for the leader of the country. UNIVAC or whatever the AI system is called culls through everyone to find just the right person for the time.

The biggest problem this is going to cause is, ironically, for the Left. Not all professions are equal. Surely there will be some AI displacement of engineers and scientists and doctors, but AI is more likely to be used as an adjunct tool in those fields, rather than as a drop-in replacement.
The fields that face wholesale risk are administration, education, compliance and similar fields. AI isn't very good, but those are very rules-based fields. "Is X compliant with Regulation Y" is *relatively* easy to answer. "Did the department satisfy its budget requirements" is similar. "Who were the belligerents in the War of 1812 and why did they fight" is also similar.
The "soft" professions will be displaced first, both in areas that are heavily programmatic (rules-based, like some of the above) or where accuracy and validity are irrelevant (like journalism).
The results will still be worse than they were with humans, but it will be cheaper. Any number of executives will like that math, at least where liability can be limited.

That might be a better deal. Far too many companies that are being bought out by private equity, and I'm thinking of how Thor has absolutely ruined RV manufacturing, have converted their employees from hourly rate to piece-meal so that shooting shit down the production line without any delay to correct for problems or insure against manufacturing defects is economically advantageous to everyone.
Especially now that the AI lawyers have drafted up contracts that make warranties just empty indecipherable words on paper.

That is the sweet spot for it: acceleration as first-pass filter.
An example brought up a few weeks ago was related to medical images.
Very, very bad: AI interprets the image, makes a diagnosis, prescribes treatment.
Much better: AI interprets the image and provides the most likely diagnoses and treatments, so the doctor can tackle the likely-important stuff first and not have to do so much research.
The former, however, is what is most appealing...

When you go to the floor, do them on your knees. There is no shame in that at all. Do not put your tail in the air, though. Hips in line with shoulders, and think about rolling tops of thighs to the floor. Get your heels as tight to the seat as you can, do not cross your ankles. Elbows to a 45, not straight out to the sides, which you should be doing anyway on your wall counter. Once you are good there, put your hands directly under your shoulders, elbows graze your rib cage, and hit your triceps. You got this, I am absolutely confident. Oh! Tuck your hips, don’t allow a dip in your lower back.

Along the way, anything of value was created because its in our DNA to imagine, explore, innovate, yearn to create, dream and build an enduring future.

Unfortunately, AI is fairly retarded, but it can fake plausibility. So the way this is likely to play out is
1. CEOs gotta be the first to fully commit to the new toy and replace a lot of people whose value they don't understand because they're just CEOs.
2. Mass layoffs crater the economy for real people.
3. Businesses implode because AI can't actually do the job under any kind of stress, and also there's now far fewer people in a position to afford anything that's not absolutely necessary, and some things that are.
4. By the way this is all being done on money borrowed, so all those loans implode, so your 401k and banks all go to 0.

I have watched countless talented young men get passed over for trannies and ghettopotamuses - without any power to do anything about it - and it's destroying the industries in question and creating a lot of angry dudes.
In the short term don't be surprised if everyday things work a lot better. Indians and Women of Calories turn everything they touch into shit.

There is a lot to this. Most people, when they hear "AI," hear "Large Language Model" (LLM) with massive datasets. Like OpenAI's ChatGPT and the like. That is a kind of AI.
Then there is smaller-scale, focused, private (or at least domain-specific) stuff like you're describing. And then there's discriminant AI used for identification, not generation ("this picture is of a 2012 Honda Accord"), and is much more useful (and harder, and very scary).
But the dirty secret is that the so-called "hyperscalers" don't really need to be a thing for anything but the first category. The AI bubble is riding on the hyperscalers, and the hyperscalers produce the least value and the greatest cost. Bigger is not always better.

In a project management context it will easily do the scheduling quoting, manpower requirements, and costing. Machine design is another thing that will take longer but I can see an AI taking a set of architectural drawings and develop a complete BOM and do the project management ftom there.

I find it interesting that of all the talk of AI, and the absolute wealth in medical data, that medicine hasn't been revolutionized by the ability to pattern match, trend analyze, and build ad hoc double blind evaluations of pharmaceuticals and procedures with AI.
Instead, it seems like staffing as quadrupled in those very areas where AI should be performing the work - as in processing the diagnostic codes, insurance claims, scheduling and collating patient data.

Discriminative AI is already used by Russian battlefield drones for "last stretch" target acquisition and guidance. By drones, I include the frames that they put on old Soviet gravity bombs to turn them into precision glide bombs; they have their own version of GPS, which is similarly jammable, but inertial guidance can put it in the neighborhood, and then when it gets close, comparing the FPV camera image with stored photos of the target location can put it on the nose. It is rumored that they are also up to doing battlefield tests of using Discriminative AI in the "loitering munition" kind of "suicide drones" to pick out enemy soldiers and vehicles, and maneuver to hit them automatically.
But I assume you meant Generative AI, and I rather assumed that the main point of Tesla's humanoid robots is to be able to wipe your grandparents' butts at lower cost and greater dignity than a nursing home. Not as sexy as combat use, but the total human value add could be immense.

Every time there's a technological step function, people predict the imminent end of work. Europe thought that about the Industrial Revolution and went socialist, especially post-WW2. What actually happened was that new categories of companies and new categories of jobs appeared. And Europe has largely missed out on creating those companies and jobs.
Same thing for the computer revolution in the 60s/70s/80s and the Internet revolution in the 90s/00s. Thus far we've avoided actually doing anything excessively stupid during those and the economy got more modernized each time. AI's going to be similar: it'll eliminate Hollywood actors, but create Hollywood prompt engineers.

Microsoft's CEO's claim to fame is building Azure. We are reaching Peak Cloud (if not already passed due to the tech bust) so to keep the stock options worth anything, they have to whore out whole new technologies that come with subscriptions.

Most surgeries are a shit application for AI due to the challenge of getting legit real time information to the machines, plus the fact that the popular LLMs are bullshit engines and fact based models are lagging behind becuse they aren't as flashy (and because the easiest humans to replace are also bullshitters)
But DIAGNOSIS is an excellent application. You get to apply the pattern recognition without realtime issues or a need to do anything to real objects. Think of the machines as being very talented at Where's Waldo.

Yes. I saw something a few months back that really resonated. Just an indie guitar shop owner, demoing on YouTube a couple of "headphone amps" that plug directly into an electric guitar and do much of the work of an effects board and amp/cab simulator, but in a little dongle with headphone and USB-C jacks. But they have mobile apps that can connect to them with Bluetooth, so you can adjust all the settings in fine detail. And as it was timing out, he muttered, "Why does everything have to be so slow?"
Sometimes, when I'm by myself, I make spontaneous noises. (I suppress it around others.) Some are micro-ditties. Lately, I've been singing this one a lot:
"Why is everything stoo-pid
Why is everything gay."
It's the same sentiment, basically. Everything is slow, stupid, and gay, now; but why?

Stephen Colbert Involved in Yet Another Leftwing Propaganda Hoax
The FCC requires "equal time" for political candidates except in the case of what are called "bona fide news programs," who can have on who they like.
Stephen Colbert's unfunny propaganda show is obviously not a "bona fide news program," so it does not meet the requirements for the exception. If Colbert features a Democrat during an election period, he must have on that Democrat's opponents, or else CBS is required to grant those opponents a block of free air time. Colbert had on yet another far left Democrat as a "guest" on his "comedy" show, the fake Christian leftwing Democrat James Talarico, who is running against Jasmine Ratchet and some others to be the Democrat candidate entitled to lose the Senate race to muh boy Ted Cruz. Here's some of this Minister of Satan's recent teachings:Texas Dem who said God is 'nonbinary' now says atheists are more ‘Christ-like’ than Christian colleaguesYes, I question his Christianity, and given that he feels free to question the Christianity of actual Christians, I feel justified. CBS decided it did not want to gift free air time to Jasmine Ratchet and the other lesser candidates, so they are not airing this latest propaganda episode. The FCC was not involved in this decision. CBS decided that they did not want the expense of giving free airtime to Democrat candidates, and so they cancelled the latest shit episode of this low-rated already-money-losing pit of despair.
The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' in 2021 ... "I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico responded. "It is about how you treat other people." The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator and joined the podcast to discuss the race and how it's expected to be an uphill battle for a progressive Democrat. A Texas Democrat has not been elected to the Senate since 1988, with Talarico looking to unseat Republican Sen. John Cornyn. "There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue. The conversation largely focused on religion, with the former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian explaining that he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives. "Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right? "These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor. His remarks sparked outrage among conservatives on social media who argued Democrats "love putting Christians down" and mocked him for previous comments on religion with one user responding, "says the dude who claims the pro-abortion position is Biblical." "James Talarico has once again broken out his anti-Christian Christian shtick," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said of the comments. "There isn't a woke cause that he won't claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he's going to learn real quick that won't fly in Texas."
Colbert, Talarico, and various other damp communists in the propaganda media are claiming "censorship!" and claiming Trump is too afraid to let them speak. They're all sorts of fake-outraged and looking to gain attention and donations from the hoax.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

@NathanLeamerDC This is a blatant lie by James Talarico. The FCC didn't refuse to air his conversation with Stephen Colbert. It was CBS who didn't air it because they will not give equal time to his political opponent in the lead up to the Texas primary. Broadcast licenses should not be used to push the political agenda of a host or show.

Ah, yes. The contingent of "Christians" and even some Christians who think that Jesus said the greatest commandment is "Thou shalt be nice".
And no "Love your neighbor as yourself" is not "thou shalt be nice" because I'm not "nice" to myself. "Nice" is how you act when you want something from someone (including just wanting to avoid conflict.)
Love is sometimes nice, but is always truthful. "Nice" rarely is.

The New Orleans Police Department tells TMZ ... Shia [LaBeouf] was allegedly getting way too rowdy at a bar in the French Quarter. A staff member got Shia to leave ... but the actor allegedly began pummeling the staffer with a closed fist as soon as they got outside.
Alleged victims say Shia finally left, but then came back ... and this time he was even more aggressive, according to the police report.
Police say it took multiple people to hold Shia down, and when they let him up, police say Shia went after the same worker from earlier, striking that person in the upper body ... then allegedly punched another person in the nose.
At that point, the 39-year-old actor was held down again ... but this time they didn't let him up until police arrived, shortly after 12:45 AM.

Boy, he falls into a career then completely passes it away.

God made both men and women in his image. Therefore, God has both male and female characteristics. And both men and women have minds that are made in God's image, each sex reflecting different aspects of God's mind.
However, God does not need to reproduce, so he does not have the genitalia or secondary sexual characteristics of either sex. He added those so that we would want to get it on and be fruitful and multiply.
However, because humans are uncomfortable, to say the least, with androgeny, He presents Himself and His Son, as males, since patriarchal societies generally work the best, thus foreshadowing His Kingdom, which will work the best of all.

Actually, Talarico is a demon.

He probably hasn't because that would be an admittance that an embryo is a human with a soul and the Demonic Party would cancel him.

Well, God is neither male nor female, so in that sense God is "non-binary". For Christians, God is referred to as "Father", and God's Bible pronoun is generally "He". But God is Holy Spirit, not male or female spirit.
Same for resurrected Christians, afaik, but the spiritual body thing is seen more "through a glass darkly".

That would be doctrinaly bankrupt though.
Visio Dei isn't anywhere near Imago Dei.
Imago, is far more rich in its multi-layered meaning, in this case "image" of a king or deity signifies representative - someone who embodies the authority of the One represented.
"vision" erases the doctrine that humans are the ambassadors or vice-regents of God. "vision" doesn't imply the exercise of stewardship, justice and care as reflections of God's character.
"vision" lacks the reason, moral awareness, relational capacity and spiritual capacity that is present in the Imago Dei.

in the image of God he created them;

The word for "mankind" is "adam". Adam was created in God's image (holy spirit).
My view is God gave Adam holy spirit (on a condition). Eve did not have holy spirit, which is why the Devil could deceive her. Adam was not deceived, he just chose ... poorly, to go along with Eve.
"Male and female created he them" has to be the body/soul part, and creating "them" is different than creating adam.

And really, this aligns with trans ideology: people are born in the wrong bogus - God made a mistake. Alrighty!!

It's not just the churches local to the affluent urban areas doing this shit. It's the national associations. Most of the Protestant denominations have been completely captured by this gaywad perverted version of what they call "Christianity" which doesn't resemble Christianity as it has been practiced for the last couple thousand years in any meaningful way.
Suicidal empathy writ large. They've taken "Love thy neighbor" to its absurd limit.

Trans is gnostic to large extent, and supposed that body and soul are separate to the extent the God accidently mixes parts up on the divine assembly line, sticking a female soul into a male body and humans have to rectify this mistake.

Yet I don't think it serves Ace well if the LONG-TERM solution to AoS is to just ignore the post page and the read-more page and jump straight to the comments. And I get it, Ace accuses us all of that, but I don't think having the site itself force one to do so is the best long term solution. The formatting has changed, and needs some sort of repair made to it.

Senate Bill 6346, dubbed the “millionaires’ tax” by supporters, would impose a 9.9% levy on personal income over $1 million, or on combined household income of more than $1 million.
Opponents, including all Senate Republicans, argue the bill is unconstitutional and will drive wealthy residents and business investment out of the state.
Supporters of the legislation argue it will fix a regressive tax code, fund education and healthcare, and provide tax relief for working families.

My pastor made such a good point on this last week. He noted everyone is so quick to blame Eve, but men are the protectors. He was right there and did not step in between Eve and the serpent. He has culpability just as Eve does.

The grammatical gender is always masculine, IIRC. But the Divine nature has neither parts nor passions, and is metaphysically simple. (This was accepted by both the Eastern and Western Churches, and by Luther and Calvin.) So the use of "nonbinary" is simply not relevant to God.

Many denominations of Presbyterians in this country; and I say this from ancestors of French Huguenots who became Presbyterian by marrying Scots, fleeing the Church of Scotland.
I was raised Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), who are one of the conservatives and Bible believing groups. Unshaken by secular woke beliefs.
Both Presbyterian (USA) and the Church of Scotland now accept both ghey marriage and gheys in the pulpit.
This explains his judgement, Ace. It was said over a decade ago, with numbers dropping rapidly in Presbyterian (USA) that they would eventually merge with Unitarians. He sounds Unitarian.
I am converting in months to become Roman Catholic. One reason due to the horrific betrayal of the Presbyterian Church USA. Most of the congregation left the church in FL due to the Presbytery vote of gheys in the pulpit. We fought. It was horrific.
There are wolves in sheep's clothing in every aspect of life, like this guy. Like the anti-ICE protesters, and those who support illegals with Bible verses picked out and determined under their lens as cafeteria "Christians."

Jesse Jackson Departs This Mortal Coil to Shake-Down Heaven and Demand God Give $300,000 p.a. Jobs to His Retarded Cousins and Staffers
By some. I assume.The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a defining figure in late 20th-century American politics and the civil rights movement, died early Tuesday at 84 after a prolonged battle with illness, according to a statement from his family and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Jackson had been living with progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's disease. He was hospitalized in mid-November as his condition deteriorated. After disclosing the diagnosis publicly in 2017, Jackson referred to it as a "physical challenge" and continued to appear at public events and comment on political matters even as his health declined. In a statement posted online, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said Jackson "died peacefully on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family," describing him as a civil rights leader whose impact spanned generations. President Trump weighed in with a lengthy tribute, noting that he had known Jackson "long before becoming President." Trump called him "a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'" and described him as "very gregarious -- someone who truly loved people."He certainly loved lodging invented accusations of racism against companies and then coercing them into paying him millions and hiring on his staffers and useless family members. Unrelated, except by the word "Rainbow:" Chuck Schumer wants to give the gay flag equal status with the American flag.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer escalated the culture fight Sunday, announcing he will introduce federal legislation to make the Pride flag a "congressionally authorized symbol" -- elevating it to the same statutory category as the American flag, military service flags, and the POW/MIA banner. In a post on X, Schumer accused President Trump of attacking "not just the LGBTQ community," but "all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC," after a Pride flag was removed earlier this month from the Stonewall National Monument. "The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground," Schumer claimed, framing the episode as an assault on civil rights history rather than a dispute over federal flag policy. The flap began after the Department of the Interior issued guidance directing that "non-agency" flags be taken down at National Park Service sites. The Pride flag flying near the Stonewall Inn came down under that directive before later being reinstalled. Schumer's proposed legislation would lock in formal federal recognition for the Pride flag, placing it under congressional protection and insulating it from future administrative policy shifts.
The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) February 15, 2026
Last week, Donald Trump attacked not just the LGBTQ community, but all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC when he ordered the removal of the pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument.

This is like Bill Frist announcing a bill a make burning the flag a criminal act:
No hope of becoming law. Purely signaling to his base that he's on their side.
Schumer debasing himself like this instead of just coasting to re-election must hurt him at a level not even his dom can get to.

Jackson appeared on television and in media shortly after (including the next morning) wearing blood-stained clothing (a shirt or turtleneck/sweater), which he said came from King's blood.
Some eyewitness accounts and associates (including criticisms from figures like Ralph Abernathy or others in SCLC circles) accused Jackson of exaggerating his closeness to the dying King and/or deliberately smearing or rubbing blood on his shirt for dramatic effect or to appear more central to the event. This became a point of contention in later years, resurfacing during Jackson's political campaigns (e.g., criticisms from Ed Koch in 1988 or Al Sharpton in 2001 referencing the blood on clothes).

I met him once in the late '90's when I tended bar for a private party for him and his gaggle of hangers on.
By then, the fame and money had gotten to him and it was sad to see him devolving into a celebrity caricature performing for his fans instead of a true leader.
His entourage were snooty, entitled, wealthy elitists who enjoyed mistreating "the help", with the exception of Marion Barry who was lovely, and reassured me they were naturally like that and that their treatment of me wasn't personal.
He hung out with me instead of them because he couldn't stand their hypocrisy. He was there for the cause, not for the celebrity.

Such a bill is useless political theater. The people of New York City will just put the flags back illegally anyway.
Schumer and Jeffries will do absolutely anything to avoid confronting the real problems. While I think its good legislation, it isnt the fucking priority.
Real bold of Schumer too after NYC basically laughed at the administration and said "Nah". I'm still going to vote against you in the primaries
Schumer is pretty much a useless twit, but maga is really trying to erase lgbtq people. This is a fight to prevent people from sending lgbtq kids to conversion camps where they are basically tortured mentally and sometimes physically to act straight, to prevent queer and trans people from being murdered.
Politicians are so stupid. Dems have republicans on the ropes, not because they have great ideas but because MAGA can’t stop making things worse for themselves. All Dems have to do is not do something stupid. Like this.

Are there any Squad members still in office who are black? I think Cori Bush lost. The others are all Muzzies or Latina. I'm looking for black race hustlers. And while in office, Jeffries won't be on scene working up a mob.
Don Lemon might be a candidate, but then he shouldn't have been crying about getting indicted, he should have held a press conference riling up a bunch of supporters gathered around him about the injustice against a black man. Instead he tried to make it about "First Amendment press" persecution.
That's what I mean; today's hustlers don't know what it takes to make a long-term race grift.

Or, we could all be adults and realize that sexual preferences don't necessarily require announcement or proclamation. The don't require parades. They don't require paraphernalia. They don't require a protective status, which only results from the former personal choice of publicizing ones preferences.
Oh, and that ole' pesky addage that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and slamming a rainbow colored flag in front a person doesn't really accomplish anything other than questioning the assailant's motivation for thinking that would make me give a sh*t.

Decades back I went on a business trip to England and we took the fast train to Paris there. After a few days there was some issue in the German branch and I had to take a pretty decent train to the Cologne area to work there for a day.
It was literally impossible to take the vaunted trains from there to England. We had to arrange a drive to some newly converted NATO base airport and fly to a small airport near London to get back to the group.

They were still pretty nice in 2016. I and a bunch of other US officers went to a NATO school in Oberammergau, and had to take several trains to get there. They were pretty nice, but the staff spoke no English, so we had to navigate train swaps using my limited German.

Alleged victims say Shia finally left, but then came back ... and this time he was even more aggressive, according to the police report.
Police say it took multiple people to hold Shia down, and when they let him up, police say Shia went after the same worker from earlier, striking that person in the upper body ... then allegedly punched another person in the nose.
At that point, the 39-year-old actor was held down again ... but this time they didn't let him up until police arrived, shortly after 12:45 AM.

Palestinian Activist in NYC Calls for Dogs to be Banned as "Indoor Pets" -- No Longer Permitted Inside People's Private Apartments -- Because They are "Unislamic" and "Dirty"
You have no idea how long it took me to find this article, because Google is deliberately suppressing it. Google only returns hits about Florida Congressman Randy Fine facing a "backlash" for saying about Muslims, if you make us choose between dogs and Muslims, the choice is easy, we'll choose dogs.
Google will absolutely not let you find the story that prompted his comment. It's pretty hard to find it on X, requiring you to write out the exact headline. But it's true, the never-ending cultural imperialism of the Umma now wants you to give up your dogs. Here's what this vicious Colonizer and advisor to Zohran Mamdani said:
A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic. Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.' 'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X. After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'. '[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote. 'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning it. 'Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we're collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.' Muslims typically do not keep dogs as pets as many believers feel they are meant to be used for work such as herding or hunting.
Disgusting bigotry. https://t.co/DX9M3x0Z9J

Nerdeen Kiswani
@NerdeenKiswani 16h Some people are rewriting the timeline around the "dog discourse," so here are the actual receipts. I did not start this conversation. I stepped into one that NYC politicians, media, and thousands of residents were already having.
In the below post, she says she was serious, but only because she doesn't want these magnificent creatures locked up in tiny apartments, but roaming free on the city streets as they do in shithole Muslim countries.
Nerdeen Kiswani
@NerdeenKiswani 17h People replying with dog pics like it’s supposed to upset me. Meanwhile those pics are fitting my spirits bc I think they’re adorable. All I was saying is they deserve better than a life confined to a tiny apartment w/ scheduled bathroom breaks on sidewalks. If anything, sounds like I care more about their quality of life than the people using them as a gotcha.
You led your post with “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam,” so I think you were saying a bit more than that. https://t.co/i7F2AX6J5n

Kurt Schlichter
@KurtSchlichter 2/16/26 - On Dogs And Those Who Hate Them Some of us have lived in Muslim countries and understand how they treat dogs, @jaketapper. During one of my deployments, we had to inform the locals, in no uncertain terms, that no, they would not conduct their annual dog cull. In other words, they were not going to go out and kill every stray dog they could find. And they wisely complied. Your fake fussy outrage doesn't overcome what we saw. I expect there are some Muslims who don't consider dogs haram and who are willing to treat dogs in the manner of civilized people. That doesn't mean that's not a tenet of faith for a significant portion of Muslims. A significant number of Muslims hate dogs. And, in fact, some Muslims who have come to the West have demanded that we accommodate their bigotry against these wonderful creatures. So, no. I'm not going to accommodate anyone who dislikes dogs for any reason. My dogs are more important than people who hate or dislike dogs. If you think that makes me a bad person or a bigot, I am completely indifferent to your opinion. This is not open to debate. We're going to keep our dogs as we always have. If you come to our civilization, you're going to respect our pets, or there's going to be trouble. John Wick is the moderate position on this issue. Fellow vets, feel free to share your dog stories from the Muslim world for the benefit of @jaketapper and others who want to shame you into submission.

Well you also have a big push to remove dogs from the West. To "accommodate" these barbarians. The Home Office in UK is pushing to reduce dogs and pubs in the rural districts. This is a coordinated push, and the next step in their slow boil conquest.
There will be push back, but will we send them all back to their sand hill peninsula? No, not yet. Soon. When will we realize it is coordinated.

ehhhh not really
Chows are for instance very happy in the city. They are pretty non-athletic and very clean. Two walks a day and to do their business and they're good. They don't jump and aren't huge on running. (they can still tear the face of a slapping Muslim)
When I was living in town a guy in our building had Irish Wolfhounds! They were just couch potatoes! excellent city dogs, believe it or not. We met up on the Parkway and the dogs would say hi and quickly pee and all of us would just go back up the elevator lol.
you just have to get the right dogs for the apartment situation. and it can be (certain) a big dog.

Diwali is a fun holiday, originally Hindu but now celebrated by many other religions/cultures (kinda like the way the Japanese celebrate Christmas, even though few of them are Christians).
With respect to the Indian subcontinent, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, Jains, and likely the various tribal religions all seem to be able to live here without murdering people or otherwise causing trouble. Only one religion common to the area causes problems.
Guess which one that is?

They can accept individual people who do not conform as long as the *society* is bent toward their will by banning the simple things like dogs, or allowing prayer on sidewalks, etc.

When I was stationed in Egypt in 1990, all of our observation posts had a pet dog, a rescue from the packs of ferals roaming around the desert. It was such an institution that the Army adjusted the MTOE for the support company to add an Army veterinarian for the dog's health.
We had an incident where a pack of ferals got under the wire of a remote outpost and tried to attack the post dog. The soldiers fought off the pack with buttstocks and bayonets until the squad leader said "screw this" and popped a couple of dogs with some 5.56 justice. He got Article 15'd and demoted from E6 to E5, but decided that it was worth it.

It is a way of establishing the order of power, with islam on top. They accept our rules when inferior (in numbers and power) but when superior, we have to accept their rules. Forcing us to is the goal. It is a pure power play and they are taught every Friday that a day will come that the West will be conquered and it is their job to force the issue with every encounter with a non-muslim. They get points for being obnoxious to us. That is their slave labor of conquest.

Actually, that's a mistranslation that started in the 19th century and has frustratingly never gone away.
When German/Austrian early psychologists first starting coining words with the Greek suffix "...phobia." their original intended meaning was "loathing" or "disgust' or "revulsion." When their works were first translated into English, however, the new German words were translated inaccuarely to mean "fear of." That mistranslation stuck, and to this day almost everyone thinks that "-phobia" as a suffix means "fear of," when in fact it was supposed to mean "revulsion at."

No, The Inquisition was a court established to secure the Reconquista. It had power to detain, interrogate, imprison, and sentence anyone suspected of being a muslim, sympathizer, or co-conspirator (this is often conflated to being non-Christian by both the inquisitors and historians, but the goal was to make sure the reclamation of the land stuck.)
They mostly expelled the traitors and invaders, seizing their property for the church. They were greatly feared as if you were suspected of being an underground muzzie, they would stick you in a cell for weeks as they investigated. They actually killed very few but that what they are blamed for. They did confiscate a lot of assets and made a lot of mistakes, but that is always the case with such absolute power.

A dog is much better protection than a door or window camera where I live (fairly looking area in the daytime) any day of the week. Had people try to pry a rear window up one evening when I was inside by myself. The last dog (passed last June) detected it well before I did and ran them off.
Once owned a little terrier that someone had tied onto a pole along a highway. She became a great guard dog as she sounded huge & potentially violent when anyone knocked or loitered outside.

A Christian preacher walks into a maximum security prison and shows the prisoners that if they repent and turn from their murderous, raping, degenerate ways and accept Jesus they can obtain redemption and forgiveness and eternal life.
A muslim recruiter walks into a maximum prison and says "You're good. Sign here. Carry on."

A collection of lies, falsehoods and demonstrably untrue cult beliefs, easily proven historically false, and having no basis in truth or fact. The cult was only spread by forced conversion, and any attempt to leave it generally results in threats of violence or murder. In fact thousands were forced converted, and to this day entire societies remain under the control of this cult. The central figures in the cult were also known pedophiles, murderers and criminals.

Post 1491 it was for identifying and expelling Jews from Spain, and as a lot of them were Spanish first and Jewish second there was a large Converso population (the rest emigrated and became the Ladino population in the Med) Part of the function was to identify New Christians who were backsliders or falsely claiming to be converts - hence the term "secret Jew".
Spanish has a saying that "new Christians eat pork three times a day" both riffing on the fact that the jews in Spain often had been rich through being traders and bankers but that they also had to prove their conversion. It is used now to say that new converts are the most enthusiastic.
In chasing down the false Conversos, it also chased down heretics, though that was a side issue in Spain.
Heresy was often political, since it was seen as treason to the crown, so that was a later function of the inq.
(thank you for allowing me to use my BA in Spanish)
The real screw over of the heretics came in response to the Albigensian Crusade, which ended in Carcasonne

It seems the Musselmen can give you fourteen different passages from the KO-ran for each particular tenet of their faith. They select the one to use depending on how they want to portray themselves to a group of infidels. Harmless, warlike, peaceful, death to Joos, whatever. Doesn't matter. The Bottom Line for Believers is: Everything in the KO-ran boils down to Allah permitting me to torture, rape, and keeel you if I feel like it. I can find a passage justifying pretty much anything.

With respect to the Indian subcontinent, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, Jains, and likely the various tribal religions all seem to be able to live here without murdering people or otherwise causing trouble. Only one religion common to the area causes problems.

Catholicism was the basis for the kingdom, and any political heresy was a revolt against the state. Jews kept themselves socially separate from the main culture (though they did not live in ghettos and Jewish towns like the Ashkenazi in Eastern Europe) but due to their position in the caliphate and the Christian kingdoms they had better access to trade and were bankers and money lenders.
Many other Christians did this as well, the most famous was El Cid, Ruy Diaz Bibar who conquered and held Valencia - and Valencia was crushed for that as well. The major problem was a political and social one to unify multiple kingdoms, and the Ladinos did not fit.
as they became a colonial power and rich, it became a political issue, and the Inquisition became a political power without controls. That lasted until Napoleon's Iberian campaigns and the Bourbon aftermath

Yet Another "Trans" Mass Shooting the Media Will Pretend Was Perpetrated by a "Woman"
This mass shooting at a "youth hockey game."
They cannot stop mass-murdering children.A youth hockey game in Rhode Island erupted into chaos when gunfire tore through a crowded rink, leaving two family members dead, three others critically wounded, and the suspected shooter dead in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said. The violence broke out in Pawtucket during a local high school matchup, sending families diving for cover as first responders swarmed the arena. Witnesses described panic in the stands as shots echoed through the building and parents shielded children amid the confusion. Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told WPRI that the suspected gunman was 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who went by the name "Roberta." Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members inside the rink before turning the weapon on himself.Wait, the dick-removal surgery didn't cure the serious psychological comorbidities? That's strange. Genital Chop-Shop Salesmen always tell their patients that getting their genitals mutilated will cure all mental illnesses.
...
WPRI reported that Dorgan had changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he went to the North Providence Police Department and informed officers that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery, adding that his father-in-law wanted him out of their shared North Providence residence because of it. Court records cited by the station show that around the same time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. In the filing, she referenced "gender reassignment surgery" and what she described as "narcissistic + personality disorder traits" as factors contributing to the collapse of the marriage.
The suspect's documented gender transition, detailed in police records and divorce filings, is now part of the broader factual record investigators are examining. The shooting also comes just one week after a separate mass killing in Canada involving a trans-identified suspect -- a back-to-back sequence that is already fueling debate and renewed scrutiny as critics point to what they describe as a troubling pattern of trans-linked violence.This latest Trans Terrorist threatened he would "GO BERSERK" if people didn't respect his mentally-disordered fake pronouns.
One day before bullets tore through a Rhode Island ice rink, Robert Dorgan -- a 56-year-old transgender-identifying father who also went by Roberta Esposito -- posted a warning that now reads like a flashing red light. "Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," Dorgan wrote on X, venting over transgender issues and reacting to a post that referred to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, as a man.Does it seem to you that ten percent of all mass shootings are perpetrated by entitled, radicalized trans lunatics? If so, your perception is accurate. Or so says the AI program Perplexity. Usually we'd want numbers from the government or media, but we know damn well they will hide those numbers forever.
I just had a bit of an argument/discussion with Perplexity, one of the best research AIs out there, about the proportion of mass shooters in recent years who are transgender or trans activists. After a bit of back and forth in which Perplexity admitted to "hand waving" about the proportion of perpetrators who are trans, we settled on a plausible percentage of mass shooters since 2018 who are in that category: about 10%.

@dagenmcdowell New York Times avoids any mention that the alleged murderer at the Rhode Island hockey rink shooting is transgender. (5 reporters!) Gender identity must be relentlessly shoved down the gullet but quickly hidden when linked to any horror exposing the depravity of the crusade.

And they are a tiny fraction of the population.
Now, the numbers here are easy to massage. If some inner city yute does a spray and pray on another gang is it a mass shooting? You'll see this sort of thing included in some data and not others.
BUT
Traditionally when the left wanted to make the case that school shooters were mostly white guys they excluded these sort of gang related incidents, and if we put the same filter on here that the danger from trannies because very very obvious.

For Rhode Island Trans-killer, WSJ deployed no pronouns at all. It was proper name and non-gendered words like "shooter", "suspect" or "perpetrator.
I suppose the difference is that RI guy was so obviously 56 year old "male" whack job that even the WSJ could not spin him as a woman. Too bad. I wanted to read how they 'splained ex-wife and kids. Story used "Ex-wife" in headline, so when I clicked I was expecting story of how "she" killed "her" "ex-wife."

Yes, like I mention above those gang shootings are traditionally excluded from these metrics, and the left did that because they were trying to argue that mass shootings are a white male problem.
Well, maybe they were *before* the rise of trannies.
Which brings up an interesting point - how many of those earlier shooters would have also gone tranny in todays culture? The FNM made a big deal about Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold being goth at the time...

Get cancer insurance. I was worried about cancer because I have a family history. Then I got testicular cancer. Every time I had a surgery, they cut a check. Every time I did chemo, they cut a check. This was on top of my reasonably good health coverage I had through work. Cancer sucked, but that part was awesome.
I know not everyone has health insurance, but cancer insurance wasn't expensive and it was great for me.

The argument? Men don't like tats on women because it shows their creativity and men don't like creativity in women.
And, ignore for a moment the question of how paying someone to put a tattoo on you is showing YOUR creativity.
Does anyone think in aggregate that men don't like women with a strong creative side? Does pop culture argue men don't like women that can sing, or paint, or write?
Because I also know one of the pop culture complaints about "manic pixie girls" is that it create an unrealistic expectation of among other things how creative a woman should be...

It's an interesting look at what I think is a trial-balloon to see if it will have legs. Plus they're gassing up others to be "based" like the attacker and just accept consequences of attacking people you disagree with.
They've got "don't tread on me" and "Obama" style images of him floating around. Very desperate.
When they say he is the hero they need, for their generation, I have to agree he looks like what I've seen in Star Fleet Academy and other "modern audience" products...

I heard that also, if the passenger looks like they might cause a problem when you ask to see their ticket, just pass them by. Check tickets of the law abiding only. In which case, just get rid of the ticket inspectors. But the ticket inspectors union is probably an important part of one of the 12 major political parties' coalitions.

It is virtually impossible to have someone committed against their will. We tried to have a family member held for treatment, and the hearing was a joke. It was basically the person in need of treatment if they wanted to leave, if they said "yes", they were released. Once you've been through that, you know it's useless.

The women (citizens) with greatest potential to populate/repopulate the middle classes and truly care about local politics in particular have been worn down by the Left for the last quarter century, now it's the men's turn.
Different tactics in that those norms are being boxed in. They get jumped over in school, work, community, even spreading into some of their homes, and the Left picks up power via youth involvement, voting, etc.
And as more people lose their grip, mentally.
Change & retrain the backbone of the nation. The rich stay rich, the poor needy. Civil Society.
All, imho

National Archives: In 2008, Barack Obama proposed expanding national service to include both military and civilian roles, arguing for a "call to service" that moves beyond "one-off" volunteering to a lifelong commitment. He aimed to triple the size of AmeriCorps, expand the Peace Corps, and offer tuition tax credits for service.

We have a relative that was a landscaper and had to use a ton of roundup. We assume some of their illnesses later in life were from exposure to roundup. But they are dead now, so they can't pursue a claim.
Same with the Johnson's baby powder. I had a relative that used that religiously every day. Passed from cancer.
If either of them were affected by those products, we were robbed of their light way too soon. But the companies were held to account way too late to change anything.

At this point is doesn't matter, probably. They've already deliberately introduced round-up resistant genetics into field crops, which will undoubtedly spread to wild plants if they haven't already, so Round-up itself is now moot as an herbicide, and they probably have some new terrible herbicide waiting in the wings.

But, I will say, there is literally no legitimate reason to ever touch the crotch or ass.
And any one who did so would be disqualified.
The only reason the ref didn't then and there was because he feared the hate storm from dq'ing a trannie more than enforcing the rules.
And yes, the ref knew he did that to her, he saw exactly where his hand was.
That was no where near inadvertent "in the course of a wrestling move."

The gal is a liberal, we usually strictly avoid talking politics, I suspected she was liberal but didn't know until Sunday. She mentioned the 911 memorial and I said that I didn't think Bush handled that real well as most of them were Saudis and Bush let SA off the hook. I have mentioned to her that my job may go poof because Trump admin wants to greatly weaken NCAR, disburse its programs. I'm not in disagreement with the admin on that, NCAR has been and is very lefty. I think our little sub-group just creates honest data products useful for weather modeling; and that is probably true for 2/3 of NCAR but they have pushed CO2 Climate Change BS forever. Sadly most of the atmospheric research folks in the U.S. and Europe buy into that theory. I think there is strong tendency to trust what your colleagues publish, and junior folks were also indoctrinated in HS, and college.

The science is clear. Johns Hopkins did decades of monitoring their patients.
At 3-5 years after their so-called 'transition' surgeries, the patients are forced to confront the fact that they will NEVER actually be the opposite sex, that they were sold a lie, and that they’ve permanently destroyed their bodies for that lie. That’s when they turn suicidal and violent. Like clockwork.

The farms use roundup as a spot treatment to kill weeds in the grass seed fields, it is stained with a dye so the guys can see what they spray. The workers (mostly hispanics here) are out all day with the Solo tank sprayers on their backs pumping and spraying, and they have told me that they come home at night with these dye stains all over them because the equpment always leaks and dribbles, and they spill it when they fill the sprayers, and it runs through their "protective" clothing which is mostly long sleeve dress shirts they buy used from Goodwill, and jeans.
They can wash their hands when they stop to eat lunch, but they are covered in the stuff as long as they spray. This does not include the equipment operators who have masks and coveralls and run the spray rigs and eat the overspray as long as they run the equipment and service it. That stuff is not dyed, they just use a foam marker to show where they have been in the field.
I used to use it to spray roads.

A mass shooting is not necessarily a mass murder. Murders get top billing by the blood-lusting media. Mass or single shooting woundings, meh, likely no mention by the major news outlets unless it is someone famous. I'll bet there are a lot more mass shootings by the gun-hater's definition nationwide than you think.

Murder is baked into the "trans" equation: Have a severe identity problem? Murder parts of yourself. It's not a big step from there to murdering others who somehow threaten that identity.

Scientific consensus on the danger of Roundup (active ingredient: glyphosate) is mixed and highly debated, with major agencies providing conflicting conclusions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (2015), citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conversely, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European agencies maintain it is "not likely to be carcinogenic" when used as directed.
While some studies and legal outcomes suggest a danger, particularly at high or prolonged exposure levels, global regulatory bodies do not universally agree that it is a carcinogen for the general population.

Operation PROTECT DONKEY-CHOMPERS: Leftwing Propaganda Media Goes Into Overdrive Claiming That AOC's Embarrassingly Incompetent Performance At Munich Was Akshually "Cogent" and Critics Are Just "Microscopically Dissecting" Her "Message"
If you took the day off yesterday, unlike me, you may have missed the story that Donkey-Chompers went to the Munich Security Conference because she's running for president and someone told her she had to show her "foreign policy chops" and so she read an issue of The Nation on the plane and figured she was all set.
She was not in fact all set. She embarrassed herself horribly -- more horribly than usual, if you can believe that -- and may have permanently damaged her ambition of becoming a Senator, let alone President of the United States. In just a few minutes of Entitled Participation-Trophy Arrogant Stupidity, AOC shit the bed on multiple fronts: * She asserted that the next president must impose a "wealth tax," and was embarrassed by a much better informed South American who told her to her face that Latin countries and repeatedly tried this and it had resulted in bankruptcy and immiseration every time. She also appeared entirely unaware that any new kind of federal tax can only happen if a constitutional amendment authorizes it -- the income tax was authorized by the 20th (?) amendment, a tax on wealth as opposed to income would require a separate amendment. * She claimed that Marco Rubio was wrong that cowboys came from Spain. They did, because cowboys ride horses that only came over to America with the Spanish conquistadors. Some yesterday, Sean Davis I think, said, "How could someone with the last name Cortez not know that Cortez introduced horses to the Americas?" * She claimed that Trump only thought he had the right to "kidnap" the dictator Maduro because Venezuela is "south of the equator" and you know those damn racist white Europeans think they're smarter and better than the Global South. Pro-Tip: Venezuela is not in fact south of the equator. I guess if you want to be charitable to a Make A Wish Foundation Pretend Presidential Candidate, you could say she was close. I mean, it is a few hundred miles from the Equator.* Asked a lay-up, no-surprise, you-knew-this-was-coming question about the US defending Taiwan from a hypothetical Chinese invasion, this idiot literally said "um" and "you know" for a full minute before finally speaking in a (more or less) grammatical sentence, stating, essentially, Well we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen. So you knew that the communist media was going to work hard to clean up for their communist Chubby Evita. RCP's Tom Bevan called it yesterday:
Tom BevanNote that Bloomberg claims that her only critics were "Republican commentators" who "claimed" -- lied, that means -- that she was "unprepared." Everyone with eyes and ears understands she was hideously unprepared. The analogy that occurs to everyone is that she looked like a third grader who was supposed to give a book report but didn't read the book so she just "ummed" for a minute before saying "it was a very, very, very, very good book, thank you." Amazingly, Bloomberg claims that after she seemingly "flubbed" her answer, she came up with a "cogent" response, which was to say that we'll just have to hope and pray that China never invades Taiwan so no I won't answer your question about whether we'd defend Taiwan and I won't even sound authoritative in refusing to answer. And it's not just "Republican commentators" who thought she looked unprepared. Gay Race Communism harpies Krystal Ball and Anna Kasparian blasted her as "not ready for prime time" and "embarrassing" and less than "mediocre." As did a whole flock of leftwing Bird-Hand leftist Tik Tokkers.
@TomBevanRCP Feb 16 If you think the legacy media carried water for Obama and Biden, just wait until AOC runs. Here's a taste from Bloomberg on her appearance in Munich:
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had anticipated a potentially frosty reception to her anti-establishment arguments at the Munich Security Conference, a venue she called "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message." And the visit to Germany felt high-stakes: It was the most prominent foreign trip to date by the progressive New York congresswoman, who had mostly focused on domestic priorities until now. Her remarks last week about addressing working-class concerns around the globe, and the reception from world leaders, were both eagerly awaited and highly scrutinized. But rather than the substance of her arguments, it was her on-camera stumbles when answering questions about specific world affairs that rocketed around conservative social media and drove plenty of the discussion about her visit, as political observers speculated whether they would make a dent in a potential presidential run in 2028. ... "This reporter came up to me and was like, 'Is Munich the new New Hampshire?' And I cannot say enough how out of touch and missing the point, genuinely, that is," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview, referring to the state's tradition of hosting early presidential primary contests. "Global democracies are on fire the world over, and established parties are falling to right-wing populist movements." To Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, the discourse about her visit had missed the more important point about the risks of authoritarianism -- an argument that she said had been well-received by the Europeans during two foreign policy panels, private meetings with German leaders and an address in a packed university auditorium in Berlin.Yes, she wowed them in "private meetings." Just trust me, bro. The New York Times "reports" this account from a highly-biased source about her own awesomeness as if it's fact. Update:
55 "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message." Europeans. Europeans are not responsive to a class-based message. Sure. Absolutely. Famously so. Posted by: I used to have a different nick
The way her performance was microscopically dissected through the lens of what it meant for a hypothetical White House campaign frustrated AOC.

I bought one in .45 LC. It felt so good in the hand. It became my Dad's because I figured I would find a new one just like it. I keep seeing them in gun stores and am there for something else, so I don't fucking buy it then kick myself.
When I bought it? '98 Blued with rosewood grips was like 350. Last one I saw, used in Buds was 750.

Incredibly, the movie never even bothers to explain how RS became an almost invincible fighter. She spent her entire life alone in the woods. Yet somehow she's a commando ninja?
And yes, it's woke. It's like they went way far out of their way to make clear that RS is a stronk girlboss who Don't Need No Man. Well, she does need her male horse, who repeatedly saves her ass, and who she has almost Catherine The Great-level affection for. The director is a Wachowski-ish tranny freak.
Bad casting too. RS is too old, too thin, and way too soft for such a physical bad-ass role. The blonde bad girl would have been much better in the lead role. I kept thinking that RS got the role the same way Lauren Sanchez got on the Bezos cocket: by fucking the money man.

The first was Ryan Long doing a skit where he was going to run as a politician solely on the political opinions of 20 year old girls - as you can imagine this was roundly denounced by leftwing commenters as pure misogyny because he presented those opinions as vapid and stupid and that we in fact need to listen to younger people because they are smarter and wiser
But then after that was another thread where there was discussion where an older woman claimed the only reason a man would ever want to date a younger women is because younger women and ignorant and easily controlled. And this had a bunch of leftwing posters agreeing.
But...these two sets of ideas are in opposition. If young women are easily duped then you don't want to adopt their ideas, and if in fact they are smarter and wiser then their elders not only would they not be dominated by an older man, but would help to educate him no?

We need to be standing for political independence and anti militarism just as much as we stand for the necessary reforms. When neoliberalism is gone, the right win. We can recognize her early accomplishments while simultaneously noting she has abandoned her responsibility to lead.
She failed simple questions, she is the best thing for the GOP. I'd still support her over Newsom, but we can do better. Thankfully the DSA is growing.

1) Her sitting "ladylike" as the British royals like Princess Catherine of Wales does with ease...AOC looks like she needs to pee badly. It is either this pose or incontinece of both her brain and bladder at the same time. Which should finish her off for politics, but look at Hillary! Ok, I think Hil's done fall out, whatever zombie state, of being thrown into a SUV probably did it for her, on top of being mean as a diamondback rattler...
2) Today, at some point, I'd like to research AOC's parental unit. Because her nose disturbs me so badly. I have never seen one like this. The squashed toad nose of flaring nostrils. That's all I look at, considering I have never listened to her.
Thanks, Ace. Donkey Chompers is fitting for her teeth/gums/gaping maw issue, and also alarming in that she could bray eventually (probably her laugh). Dat nose, doh, baffles me.

Some of them might have sniffed it out before Crowley and watched but I think it was a true ultra left insurgency that caught Crowley out. The party then broke up the team that did it and decided to bring AOC into the fold without the somewhat politically savvy leaders who set her up. I haven't heard much from the ringleader, so he may not have been as savvy once the big boys took notice.
The vote totals that Crowley needed were less than 20000 or so IIRC in a district of a few hundred thousand and more. If he did not take care to lock them down...more fool him.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official.
It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.

"Canola" is the name for rapeseed that has been improved (by good old-fashioned selective breeding, not GMO) to reduce the erucic acid component of the oil down to negligible levels to make it palatable. So it's a cultivar of rapeseed.

I wouldn't be surprised if Harris and Cortez don't headline the next Democratic/Communist presidential campaign run.
After all, see Biden. Perhaps see O, too. A group ran the country under their Presidential title. It was little more than titles.
Now two alleged women of color - both thick as a brick and having others do their bidding - running the show.
Think it's bad now? It can always get worse.
